I need to modify the Launch and Activation Permissions for the netman area under the Component Services / DCOM Config. However, this area is disabled preventing any changes.
- I am in the Administrators group
- I launched dcomcnfg with elevated Administrator privileges.
What do I need to do to modify the settings here?

From this blog post,
What's happening here is you can't change the permissions, because the permissions are tied to a registry key that you don't have permissions to change because TrustedInstaller has ownership of it. You need to take ownership of the registry key yourself so that you can then modify it.
