no smoke no sparks no clunks, but maybe a couple unnecessary services. will check with blackviper on Distributed Transaction Coordinator.... ********************************** "DCOM is Safely Disabled on this System Port 135 is Open, but DCOM is not Answering With DCOM disabled, this system is safe from the possibility of remote DCOM exploitation -- now or in the future. Port 135 is probably being held open by the Windows Task Scheduler or the Distributed Transaction Coordinator (MSDTC), which share this port with DCOM. You almost certainly have no need for the Distributed Transaction Coordinator, but the Task Scheduler may be performing important periodic maintenance work for your system. But in any event, DCOM itself is no longer active so you're in good shape." ********************************
