I have a DCOM registered on a Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise machine. I would like to be able to initiate one instance of the DCOM and have it accessed by multiple users on that same machine, that is, users logged in to different Windows accounts. There is a GUI aasociated with the DCOM object, which shall be shown on the "server side" of things.
What settings will achieve this? In the identity tab in the dcomconfg settings for my DCOM object, I have tried the interactive user,the launching user and this user, the first two lead to the same result: a new DCOM instance is started on each of the logged in client's Windows accounts, despite there being instances already running on other accounts. The third alternative, this user, seems to be almost the thing I am looking for but unfortunately does not show the GUI, which is also what I am warned for in this article: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms693802%28v=vs.85%29.aspx.
Any help would be much appreciated!
