Reference 1 : 75 ITRC Forums 2004 Jan 06 DCOM 10009 Errors in HPSIM
<>

As indicated in Reference 1, i understand the forum was closed but there was no workaround?

Can you please advise if HP have recently added a patch or new version to fix this DCOM 10009 problem?

As stated previously, this is not a "problem" or a "bug" -- it is a natural outgrowth of using WMI. The only way to eliminate it is not to use WMI.

Thanks David.

The DCOM error comes up only for those unix boxes, switches and routers.

But can you please explain the statement you made below as iam unsure what this suppose to mean?:

"As stated previously, this is not a "problem" or a "bug" -- it is a natural outgrowth of using WMI."

"The only way to eliminate it is not to use WMI."

What do you mean by it is a natural outgrowth and if i do not use WMI what would be the effect on the system if i disable it and what other options will i have? Do any of the HP SIM settings allow me to disable calls to Non-WMI devices (such as unix boxes and routers) so the DCOM error does not occur?

I have already tired the workaround stated from the previous thread and the DCOM error still comes up.

Please help as i have exhausted everything i could find on the internet!!!
