setup-local-dcom

sets up DCOM on a host

Synopsis

asadmin [asadmin-options] setup-local-dcom [--help]
[--verbose={false|true}]
--force={false|true}

Description

The setup-local-dcom subcommand sets up the Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM) remote protocol on the host where the subcommand is run. The DCOM remote protocol is available only on Windows systems.

This subcommand must be run by the operating-system-level administrator user on the host where DCOM is being set up. Before running this command, ensure that items in the Windows operating system are set as described in "Windows Operating System Settings" in GlassFish Server Open Source Edition High Availability Administration Guide.

Setting up DCOM on a host ensures that scripts can be run on the host from a remote host. To run scripts on the host from a remote host, the Windows user must be allowed full control over some Windows registry keys.

In some versions of Windows, only the user NT SERVICE\TrustedInstaller has full control over these Windows registry keys. If the version of Windows on a host is configured in this way, this subcommand modifies these keys to allow full control over them for the Windows user.

Caution

This subcommand might modify the permissions of some keys in the Windows registry. Before running this command, back up the Windows registry.

By default, the subcommand prompts you to confirm that you want to update the Windows registry. To run the subcommand without being prompted, set the --force option to true.

This subcommand is supported in local mode only.
