Remotely connecting to SQL Server 2008 Integration Services – Access is denied error.

Very annoying error and I haven’t seen clear concise instructions for getting this to work. I will attempt to do that here.

1. Open Administrative Tools > Component Services
2. Navigate to DCOM Config and open the properties for MsDtsServer100
3. Click on the Security tab
4. Add the appropriate users/groups that you need and assign their permissions to BOTH “Launch and Activation Permissions” AND “Access Permisions” (Both of whom, select Customize then Edit)
5. Click Ok to save changes and close those windows.
6. Right click on Computer, select Manage.
7. Navigate to System Tools > Local Users and Groups > Groups
8. Double click on Distributed COM Users
9. Add the users/groups you wanted to give permissions to.
