Remote Procedure Call System Service This component provides a variety of remote procedure call (RPC) and Component Object Model (COM) services, including:
  • RPC Endpoint Mapper, which allows the run-time library to dynamically assign and resolve endpoints, the network-specific addresses of an RPC process.
  • COM Service Control Manager (SCM), which handles local Distributed COM (DCOM) processes.
  • COM Object Resolver, which is used to locate local objects.

Component Configuration

There are no configuration requirements for this component.

Special Notes

RPC system service is required if COM or RPC is used on the system.

For More Information

For more information, see the COM Programming Guide and the RPC Programming Guide at this Microsoft Web site.
