Level: Error

Computer: W2K8R2-HV-AD. sincic.com .br
Description:
DCOM got error "2147944121" from the computer W2K8R2-DPM. sincic.com .br when attempting to activate the server:
{CC7D8A18-C386-48D5-9906-4FFC77A39788}
Cause
On the server already existed some installation of products that use RPC port for internet, as RPC-Over-HTTP, SCOM, SCCM and others. The error does not occur on machines specifically designed for DPM.
The registry is created a subkey in the PRC for internet access, indicating the available ports and with some parameters that end up creating problems in remote calls in your local network.
Solution
Make a backup of the registry tree below and delete.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Rpc\Internet
Reboot the machine to reconfigure the RPC services and rebuild the communication tests with the DPM agent.
