Hi, Guys
When I try use COM+, I have message in log :"The activation for CLSID {A62189F6-0853-42FE-A9F1-C46430A03971} failed because remote activations for COM+ are disabled. To enable this functionality use Server Manager to install the COM+ Network Access feature in the Application Server role."
"Application Server" role was removed in Windows Server 2016. How I can enable "COM+ Network Access" feature?

Hi,
Thanks for your post.
Yes, Application Server role was removed in Windows Server 2016 preview. Since COM+ Network Access" feature belongs to Application Server role, we cannot enable this feature now.

I also did a test in my Windows Server 2016 TP5 lab, add-windowsfeature in PowerShell did not work either.

Thanks, Alvwan
As I understand, we cannot use COM+ in Windows Server 2016 now. Do you know, is it limitation of TP5 or we will not have ability to use COM+ in final version of Windows Server 2016 too?

Hi Sinelnikov,
Considering Window server 2016 TP5 is just released and not the final version, We should wait for the later updates and official announcements.

Set registry value RemoteAccessEnabled in the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\COM3 to 1.

Set registry value RemoteAccessEnabled in the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\COM3 to 1.
Just an FYI - this is necessary if you need to have REMOTE clients connect to your COM+ server. We are unable to correlate a Windows 2016 feature that flips this particular key to allow remote clients.

I also wanted to add that we had to use this registry key change even though we went into the dcomcnfg.exe application and checked the box for Network DTC Access for the Local DTC and its relevant check boxes. Thank you Alex for finding that! :)

I understand that the Application Role has been removed from Server 2016, and based on this post it seems that Com+ should be installable as a feature
But, going through the screen shots of features on this blog, it doesnt appear that Com+ is listed.
Can anyone confirm that Com+ is simply not available in Server 2016 release version?

Please see the following Microsoft Support article that addresses how to enable COM+ remote access for Windows Server 2016:
