Issue/Introduction:
How do I enable Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM) with Symantec Endpoint Encryption Device Control 8.2.x?

1) Run the dcomcnfg command
2) Expand the Component Services snap-in, right-click "My Computer" and click
Properties.
3) In the My Computer Properties dialog box, select the Default Properties tab.
4) Make sure the "Enable Distributed COM on this computer" box is checked, then click OK.
5) A pop up Window will display. Select Yes.
6) Close the Component Services snap-in.
