Issue
TAC Vista server keeps restarting itself. How can I make it stop?
Environment
TAC Vista 5.1.X
Possibly remote Workstation
Cause
Incorrect DCOM settings
Resolution
This happens because the DSS writerservice that transfers log data to the SQL database uses DCOM to call TACOS (Vista server) and if TACOS is not running it will start it up. That�s why it starts over and over again. Here is the solution: - Start Component Services, either from the Start menu, or via Start -> Run... -> dcomcnfg.
- Double-click the Component Services node in the tree on the left-hand side.
- Expand the My Computer node, and click the DCOM Config folder. - Locate the TACOS package in the right-hand view. - Right-click and click Properties. - Switch to the Security tab. - Edit Launch and Activation permissions. If Use Default is selected, switch to Customize, and press Edit. - Make sure no one has Remote Launch.
