SUMMARY
You can use Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM) to run distributed programs across multiple computers in a network. A distributed program consists of multiple processes that cooperate to accomplish a task.



MORE INFORMATION
The processes can run on one or more computers. DCOM has four activation models:
 * Launching user
 * Interactive user
 * This user
 * System

Terminal Server only supports launching user. This behavior is by design.
