Need to be able to set the password for the account used by a given DCOM
object. What options do I have here? I don't suppose any of the native API
functionality for this has been wrapped in .NET yet?

To be clear on what I'm trying to change, if you run dcomcnfg and view an
application's properties, I need to reset the password shown on the Identity
tab when it is running with the "This User" setting.

Thanks!

Hi

I think you may try to take a look at the link below, follow the link you
can download the vs sample which will do the job in the VC++.
206484 INFO: DCOMCNFG Programmatically Manipulates DCOM Server Permissions
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=206484

Use the tool we can use the command line as below to set the identity for
DCOM server whose appid is {12345678-1234-1234-1234-00aa00bbf7c7}
dcomperm -runas {12345678-1234-1234-1234-00aa00bbf7c7} redmond\jdoe password

Hi

BTW: so far there is no .NET wrap to do the job. We need to use the
unmanaged API as the link below do to do the job.
If you still have any concern, please feel free to post here.
