Component Services (COM+) re-installation or repair: using Easy Transfer to setup a new pc breaks COM+????

Recently I have noticed a third party application we are using in our company has not been working properly on certain computers.  I contacted the vendor for support, and they said I should check if My Computer under Control Panel-->Administrative
Tools-->Component Services--> Computers has a red line through it.  On all the computers where the app is not working, this line appears indicating that there is a problem with Component Services.
Doing some further research on the internet, I have found several posts that indicate that if a computer was setup using Easy Transfer, that this leads to a "broken" Component Services.
And indeed---every one of the computers with a broken Component Services was one that had been setup for a new user by using Easy Transfer.  The issue with Component Services does not appear on computers that were a "clean" install.
So--I know my third-party app is not working properly because of a problem in COM+.  There is info to indicate that using Easy Transfer somehow "breaks" Component Services---but no one seems to know how it does this.  There is also no clear advice
or info on how to fix it properly.  Just some general advice to "reinstall Windows".
Can anyone advise if it is possible to re-install or fix COM+ Component Services WITHOUT having to do a complete reinstall of Windows?  I have setup quite a few pcs in my company using the Easy Transfer.   Is a complete OS reinstall the
only way to fix this?

Hi,
Yes, agree with Luigi.
Furthermore, if you try to migrate the systems in your enterprise environment, I suggest using the User State Migration Tool 4.0.
More information:
User State Migration Tool 4.0 User's Guide
You may try to use the installation disk to test if it is able to repair the Component Services.

    Probably should've searched around a bit more. Just saw a similar forum post to my own in which redownloading and burning solved another user's similar issue. As of now I've redownloaded the 64-bit ISO, burned it, and so far so good (at 72% extracting files). I will repost here if it was a success in hopes that other users with a similar issue find this and benefit from it. Hope I didn't just waste anyone's time with a question that had already been answered (haha)

  • Why can I no longer use AirPlay with my Slingbox?  New updates break complatibility?

    Why can I no longer use AirPlay with my Slingbox?  New updates break complatibility?

    You already seem to know what the issue is, it is the parallax feature that was added to iOS 7.  From your rant, it appears that your attempt to work around this was not successful.  According to the Apple documents I've seen, they recommend that you enlarge your image (not reduce it).  Make your image have excess space on all sides, which is not displayed on the screen.  This way, when you tilt your device one direction or another, it can shift the image to give the appearance of 3D. 
    As a photographer, I like to use the full frame of my images, but I also know that I need to leave room around the image as well.  I have some photos I have taken that I can't use because I have them cropped too tightly too, but I have others that work just fine.  Just remember that part of the image file is "off screen" so that if iOS has to shift the image up it has some image that can scroll onto the screen.  It needs this space on all sdes, so just make youre images larger, and keep in mind that a portion on each side will be outside the normally visible screen...  If you don't like this feature, you can always go into the settigns and turn it off.

  • Administrator.000 appeared after XP to Win7 upgrade using Easy Transfer Wizard

    I used the Windows Easy Transfer method to capture my XP documents and settings in a saved file before upgrading to Windows 7 (32bit).   After a clean install I then ran Windows Easy Transfer to restore my documents and settings from the file created earlier.  Everything worked fine but I did notice that in the C:\Users directory an extra Administrator.000 directory was created with the date and time matching the time when I ran Easy Transfer wizard. Is it safe to delete this extra one and leave the original Administrator directory?
    Thanks!

  • Finding  iTunes Using Easy transfer cable

    I just transferred information from my old laptop(Vista) to my new one(windows 7) using an easy transfer cable from Belkin. I opened the iTunes on the new computer and I found that none of the music, etc. transferred. All that is shown is music that came installed on the new computer. Pictures, documents, etc. transferred. I would like to to find my iTunes music from the old computer on the new computer. Please help. Thank you! 

    Dunno about the easy transfer cable.
    Hello D3BS,
    Thank you for your prompt response. I am doing as you suggested clicking and dragging the songs from the music folder to the iTunes library,
    Don't do this...
    You need to copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from old computer to /Music/ on new computer.
    That is all you need to do.
    You do not need to then add stuff to iTunes.
    Phowever, as I do this I find that all the space is taken up  on the open screen list . I still have more songs to add by this method to the iTunes library. Please offer some sugggestions as to how to free up space in the iTunes library so that more songs can be added from the music folder.
    No idea what this means.
    If you still have the old computer, I suggest you do the following.
    On the new computer, delete the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder. No idea what may have gotten messed up...
    Copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from old computer to /Music/ on new computer.
    Open iTunes on new computer.
    If nothing shows up, post back before you mess with anything. Very simply to fix.

  • I am moving to Bermuda and want to take my iPhone . I have service with Verizon. Can I use it in Bermuda with a new carrier?

    I am hoping My iPhone can be unlocked to be used with a carrier in Bermuda

    In Australia they have fixed this problem, we can only contact the company and they will unlock it for us, but I don't know in other countries. I recommend if you can contact your carrier company an tell then to unlock it for you.
    I hope this helped you :)

  • Forgot password on my ibook g4 used command s to setup a new user account but now everytime i start it, it starts in setup account how do i fix it

    i have a apple ibook g4 and dont know the password so i  followed the command s directions to enter single user mode and fsk to set up a new user account adter it rebooted       it reboots into new user  setup were  i have followed all the steps and completed them    then a restart is required only evrytime it boots back up im forced to setup again.   i was able to use my ibook before because it logged in at start up but i was able to upgrade or make any real changes because i couldnt remember password 
    so now im even farther from being able to use my ibook    does anyone have a fix  i do not have any disc so cant try that unless you coukd also provide a place to get it 

    Here's one method to reset the password without the install disc:
    1. boot computer and hold the "apple" key and the "s" key.
    2. wait for terminal show
    3. release keys
    4. type without the quotes: "/sbin/mount -uaw"
    5. press enter
    6. type without the quotes: "rm /var/db/.applesetupdone
    7. press enter
    8. type without the quotes: "reboot"
    9. press enter
    This will let you create a new admin account when you reboot your computer.
    Also, without the discs, look at Mac OS X Tip - No Password, No Root, No CD? No Problem.
    http://www.macobserver.com/tip/2003/06/16.1.shtml
    Here is a way to get around not knowing the admin password on Macs.
    To reset your OS X password without an OS X CD you need to enter terminal and create a new admin account:
       1. Reboot
       2. Hold apple + s down after you hear the chime.
       3. When you get text prompt enter in these terminal commands to create a brand new admin account (hitting return after each line):
              * mount -uw /
              * rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
              * shutdown -h now
       4. After rebooting you should have a brand new admin account. When you login as the new admin you can simply delete the old one and you’re good to go again!
     Cheers, Tom

  • How do I use family share to setup a new device for my child when I don't already have one with iOS 8?

    My kids want apple products.
    I don't own any.
    I buy an iPad for one and an iPhone for the other, but I can't set them up because they require me to setup Family Share and create accounts.  I can't do that because I don't have a device with iOS 8 already setup.
    I do have a valid AppleID.  I've had it for years.  I use it with iTunes.
    I wish they would just let me manage the account setup and Family Share through a web page.  Right now I'm dead in the water and Christmas is approaching fast.

    I have found a solution.
    It turns out that all the documentation I could find on the web was wrong.  At least in the case of the iPad I just bought. I did manage to borrow a device so that I could setup family share and the kids accounts, but when I went to enter the new existing account into the setup of the iPad, it then started leading me through the process to create the account (clearly it didn't bother to check if it really existed already).  In reality, I believe had I just entered a "new ID" for my child, that didn't exist, it would have led me through the same process.  As it was, I had to back out to the first screen and skip the creation process, since I had already created the IDs elsewhere.
    The only part I'm not clear on, is if I still would first have needed to turn on family sharing for my ID before starting this whole process, or whether it would automate that while creating the child AppleID.

  • Time Machine: Can I use my backup to setup my new iMac?

    Hello
    I'am planing to change my 20" iMac white 2.16GHz to a 24" iMac alu 2.8 GHz .
    Is it possible to restore my 20" iMac's data from the back up drive to this bigger machine, without to lose anything?
    With TimeMachine of course.
    Thanks

    I read it somewhere (I don't remember it now) that in the set up process of a new computer it asks if you like to transfer information from some other place and you need to select an account in the time machine and choose what (like applications, folder, some settings) you want to transfer. So I think the configuration would not be a problem.
    You can search for some support articles at http://www.apple.com/support/find/ and see if you can get some information.

    It sounds like you destroyed your boot partition and the recovery partition.  Depending on it's age, your MacBook Air might be able to do a net boot.  Plug and ethernet connection into it and attempt to boot.  If it has the right firmware, it will find a net boot configuration on the net and boot that.  Then it will give you a Recovery Partition like display and allow you to reinstall the OS X version that came with it.... assuming that it was Lion or ML.  If your computer came with Snow Leopard, then even the net boot won't work. 
    At that point you need a bootable USB Key, or an external DVD drive AND a Snow Leopard installation DVD. 
    An Apple Store, if there is one nearby, MAY be able to get you going again.  However, whatever is on the SSD now will be toast too.

  • If I buy an iphone from the hong kong site to use in new zealand, will it come unlocked and can i use it in new zealand on a nz service provider?

    If I buy an iphone from the hong kong site to use in new zealand, will it come unlocked and can i use it in new zealand on a nz service provider?

    If you purchase an unlocked iPhone it will work on any supported gsm network.
    Just FYI, apple will not ship outside the country in which the device is purchased. A device purchased in the Hong Kong website must have a shipping and billing address in Hong Kong.
    Also, warranty and support are only valid in the country of origin.
