hmmmmmmmmmmm when I search for DCOM in the plugin section on nessus.org, I only 
found  11798.  it most be because I searched by plugin name.

Thank you Nicolas, I'll add those two plugin ids to my lisf.

DCOM allows applications to be distributed across locations, the application 
create program ids that can have the default launch and access permissons. 

A user account is added as authentication credentials to  granted permission to 
access/launch the component.  When the user credentials (as a example a service 
account) are add they can recieve the default access and launch permissions. 
Alot of time they don't need the default permissions. 

DCOMCNFG is the tool that comes with Windows that allows you to configure the 
DCOM settings of a COM application.  The application can be listed as a Name or 
by a program ID and its rather painful to manual check each.

Other scanners I've used will report  on what user has what level of access 
and/or  launch permission for a COM object.  When I run an Administrative scan 
using Nessus, i've never see it report on this setting and so far i've been 
unable to find a plugin that does. 

I was thinking of  writting a plugin to check the access and launch permission  
for COM objects. but didn't want to re-invent the wheel and thought I would ask 
to see if anyone else 
has.

Take Care and Have Fun --John
