COM + Error after installing SP2

I downloaded SP2 "Final" from MS yesterday. Installed no problem and am now
working through the list of things that dont work anymore. Some security
related, some not. My main one I cant seem to get around is the following.

- Standalone computer
- DTC Service is set to log on using local system account. All settings out
of box
- Logged in admin local
- Open COM + MMC
- Drill down and highlight the COM + Applications node
- Wait 10 seconds and you will recieve the following error on a pop-up


An error occured while processing the last operation. Error code 80080005 -
Server execution failed.

The event log has this:

TransactionManager-GetWhereabouts failed. If Distributed Transaction
Coordinator is configured to use remote host to coordinate transactions, it

This worked for me:

cd %systemroot%\system32
msdtc -uninstall
msdtc -install

If this does not work try performing the steps in "Microsoft Knowledge
Base Article - 315296" to clean 'Clean Up a Damaged COM+ Catalog' and
then do the step above again. I don't think 315296 actually helped
fix the problem; but I can't say for sure since I did do 315296 before
doing the steps above. Therefore, try just the steps above first. If
you do perform 315296, the following may apply: If "IIS In-Process
Applications" and "IIS Out-Of-Process Pooled Applications" do not
appear in the "COM+ Applications" folder of the Component Manager:

cd %systemroot%\system32\inetsrv
rundll32 wamreg.dll, CreateIISPackage

Yah, that worked for me too
I noticed that "Distributed Transaction Coordinator" use
"NetworkService" to logon. Maybe you can try the logon changes.

Microsoft is slacking on these impact (the user-group is far better
than their MSKB) . They forget about the developers in the outside
world. NVM, my company is starting to push Java product anyway. The
day of Microsoft can be count...
