SUMMARY

You can use Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM) to run distributed programs across multiple computers in a network. A distributed program consists of multiple processes that cooperate to accomplish a task.

MORE INFORMATION

The processes can run on one or more computers. DCOM has four activation models:
  • Launching user
  • Interactive user
  • This user
  • System
Terminal Server only supports launching user. This behavior is by design.
