Grant DCOM Remote Launch and Activate Permission
In the Windows domain environment, the domain administrator account has the
necessary privilege level to access the WMI component for QCS management
and, therefore, no special configuration is needed. In a large enterprise, however,
a user who is accessing the local or remote host using the QCS client GUI may
not always have the domain administrator account privilege. It is necessary to
configure WMI security access on the remote host to allow the user to connect to
it using the QCS client GUI.
This configuration can be easily done using the following procedure. If you do not
have sufficient privileges to configure security for WMI access, contact your
network administrator.
