How to resolve COM server application local activation permission for machine account I am trying to enable SSIS package logging to event logs. When an attempt is made to write to the event log the following error appears in the system event logs:


  The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local
  Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID 
  {806835AE-FD04-4870-A1E8-D65535358293}  and APPID 
  {EE4171E6-C37E-4D04-AF4C-8617BC7D4914}  to the user DOMAIN\machine$
  SID (S-1-5-21-16020293-282541685-632688529-241633) from address
  LocalHost (Using LRPC). This security permission can be modified using
  the Component Services administrative tool.


I've dealt with this error before but the fact the error relates to a machine account has thrown me. Does this mean I have to specifically grant permissions to the machine account in component services? The app pool account running under the NETWORK SERVICE account.
As @spaghettidba said, the error message is pretty clear. APPID EE4171E6-C37E-4D04-AF4C-8617BC7D4914 is Microsoft SQL Server Integration Services 12.0. It looks like you already knew what you had to do:


Either grant access to the machine account in Component Services \ DCOM Config \Microsoft SQL Server Integration Services 12.0 (In properties \ Security \ Launch and Activation Permissions)
or
Change under which account the service request is being made.
