Default "dcom-service-enabled" risk


Hi Guys

Recently, we did an third party scan on ours servers and there is a
"dcom-service-enabled" risk being flagged out. More information can be
found on the below url.

http://www.iss.net/security_center/r...ce-enabled.htm

I only disable the DCOM support on my servers using dcomcnfg.exe but
still leave the DCOM Server Process Launcher service running. Disabling
the service will cause some other services like VSS and windows
installer fail to start. I am using the following url for reference.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/825750

But the risk still flagged out during the latest scan. Can I check with
you if we can treat this as a false postive since we have already
disable the DCOM support?

Regards
