STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article. This problem was first corrected in Windows 2000 Service Pack 3.



MORE INFORMATION
COM+ add a new coclass type library attribute named COMTIINTRINSICS_ENABLED to its catalog. This attribute instructs the COM+ catalog to turn on the COMTIIntrinsics property for that component, which overrides the default value.

The use of this new attribute is similar to other properties on COM+ components (such as TRANSACTION_REQUIRED, QUEUEABLE, and so on). The following code illustrates how to use COMTIINTRINSICS_ENABLED: [       uuid(A543F0B8-DDC8-11D0-B5A0-00C04FB957D8), helpstring(&quot;YourCoClassName Class&quot;), COMTIINTRINSICS_ENABLED ]   coclass YourCoClassName
