Hi Alexei,



I have found that you can make this work after setting the interactive user as an identity for the TestComplete Manager DCOM object on the target machine.



1. Run the Component Services utility (Start | Run... | dcomcnfg.exe).



2. Expand the 'Console Root | Component Services | Computers | My Computer | DCOM Config' node.



3. Find the 'TestComplete Manager' item corresponding to TestComplete 8 - select the Properties from the context menu and make sure that Application ID is {3F2BC7C3-2F5B-429F-BA68-948871F2838E}.



4. In the 'TestComplete Manager Properties' dialog, open the Identity tab and select the 'The interactive user.' option.



5. Apply the changes and check whether you can connect to TestComplete remotely.



Please let me know your results.
