I'm writing a COM+ component interface to some classes in C# that
access Active Directory. It is important to keep the user's login
credentials on our Intranet (Integrated authentication) to make sure
that the he has access to the actions that he wants to do in the AD.

Short Question:
Is there any way to shut off the "DCOM optimization" that is used when
making a remote call from a .NET client to an ServicedComponent?

I am creating a way to log my distributed applications in a asyncronized
way... I have a microsoft queue to centralize all my applications events.
Now, I want to create a COM+ application to process the log queue to pass
messages to database. Is there a way to configure my queue or ...

SQLParser.dll has a reference to Parser.dll. "How can I contain both the DLLs in a single assembly?" This assembly file has to be published in the GAC. Will the reference (early binding) take place automatically or should I have to use the Assembly.Load function?
Any help is ...

I have read the MS documentation about COM+ but I find myself very
confused about some concepts. My main doubt is about synchronization
and causality. It seems that these elements are related, but how
exactly?

Is it possible to throw a custom exception from the constructor of a com
component?  I always get an Invalid Pointer exception when I throw from the
constructor.  Anywhere else, my custom exception comes through fine.

I have a serviced component which calls a Data Access layer.
The design of the DAL was done without any thoughts of being called from a
ServicedComponent. ( Generated by NtierGen )
The problem is that the DAL calls BeginTransaction() & CommitTransaction()

I am doing some database work, nothing fancy, just creating som new rows and
stuff.  When I get this error.
Distributed transaction completed. Either enlist this session in a new
transaction or the NULL transaction

Can anyone point me to an article talking about creating Compensating
Resource Managers and .NET? I found an article on MSDN, but it is from the
2000 year, so it does not use .NET
Thank you.

thanks in advance

We have a COM+ Application that uses role based security. There are numerous
roles. I have been asked to assign USER2 to all of the roles to which USER1
is a member. Where can I find this information without opening up each and
every role and looking for USER1.

I want to use a serviced component (using JITA and object pooling) as a
remote object, as ServicedComponent inherits MarshalByRefObject.
Shall I export this serviced component as a "Singleton" or a "SingleCall"
Object ?

After a few days of operation, we sometimes get an InvalidCastException on
the creation of an instance of a COM+ library-type component (written in C#)

Exception: System.InvalidCastException
