We're not being unfriendly -- we just want to make sure our KB articles are in a standardized format with a specific error/problem description and a tested solution.
You certainly have done in-depth investigation on the DCOM issue, and after we've reviewed your solution, we will most likely post this to our KB.
The DCOM error is one that's been reported from time to time, but we haven't been able to reproduce and troubeshoot in-house.
SourceGear is lucky in that we have very talented users who can sometimes track these things down.
