What would be the impact on running of MQ Series 5.3 by disabling DCOM on Windows 2003? Any experience or inputs welcome. Thankyou.

DCOM is used by the IBM MQSeries service to start and stop queue managers, as far as I know.

I wouldn't recommend doing this. If you're concerned about security problems, then put the server behind a firewall that only allows communications on MQ listener ports.

From the System Administration manual:

Quote:
The WebSphere MQ Services snap-in uses Component Object Model (COM) and Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM) technology to communicate between servers and between processes on a server.
The COM server application, AMQMSRVN, is shared between any client processes that need to use the WebSphere MQ Services snap-in components (for example, the WebSphere MQ Services snap-in, the alert monitor task bar, and the WebSphere MQ service).

In other words - change at your own risk, with a healthy chance for problems

Even though it's been a while since last post on this topic,

doing so is bad. If you do, your MQ will fail as noted in prior posts. When you manually go back in and start it, the service will run fine until the next refresh of the policy and kill MQ again.

The only way to stop this is to make a policy exception for that server(s) in your policies so that DCOM is not disabled and then you will be able to run fine while killing DCOM for all other servers/services in your domain. This works as I've been through this much to my frustration with our security folks.

Cheers,
