Why?? There is many advantage of not installing a COM+ proxy,

1. Nothing to install on the client other than your App.
2. With the proxy, you have the server IP or name of the server registered on the client machine and it's a PITA to change it without reintalling a new proxy package.
3. Using the CLSID you have the flexibility to change server on the fly. (Great for backup servers senario)

I know you prefer installing the proxy, you've said that in the past, but could you elaborate on why ?


>I recommend the opposite. It's much easier to install the COM+ proxy than step DCOM.

>>It will run on the remote machine (machine1) I suggest you use the CLSID instead of the class name, by doing this you will not need to install a COM+ proxy on the client machine.
