When running an Online Restore to restore objects, using Agents, the following error may occur:
"XXX Initialization of source interface(s) failed. Error: Failed to create a remote object. Access is denied"
This error can occur if your target Domain Controller is running Quest Change Manager Service or any other tool that has modified the default COM security settings.
As a workaround, modify the DCOM default Security permissions by taking the following steps:
1. On the target Domain Controller, select Start | Run and type in dcomcnfg.
2. Select the COM Security tab.
3. Under the Default Access Permissions section, click on Edit Default.
4. Click Add and specify a service account that will be used for Backup/Restore in the Recovery Manager console, or a group that includes more than one service account.
5. Restart the Domain Controller (this is mandatory, as starting and stopping services will not help).
6. After restarting the Domain Controller, start the Recovery Manager Online Restore wizard again.
This affects versions 7.1 and newer
