So this is an old gripe of mine with SharePoint, it doesn’t set all the permissions it needs by default. This is shown through tons of Windows Error Log entries that look like this:
Application Server job failed for service instance Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration.SearchServiceInstance (e085fa0b-2cae-4a45-9feb-db5b06c1fbec).
Reason: Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {3D42CCB1-4665-4620-92A3-478F47389230} failed due to the following error: 80070005.
Techinal Support Details:
System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {3D42CCB1-4665-4620-92A3-478F47389230} failed due to the following error: 80070005.
This is easy to fix. Read on to see how.
The fix for this is:
Grab the CLSID without the brackets and run a search in the registry for it. In this case it comes up with: Microsoft Office SharePoint Server Gathering Manager, another common one is the IIS WAMREG Admin Service (think thats the name been awhile since I’ve had to do that one). However the IIS application has different steps I’ll outline later.
For the Microsoft Office SharePoint Server Gathering Manager error’s the fix is to give your IIS WAMREG account (IWAM_ComputerName) local admin rights on your sharepoint server. By opening lusrmgr.msc and adding it to the Administrators group.
For the IIS error after you have the common name for it from the registry go ahead and open up the Administrative Tools and Component Services. Then browse down to: Component Services\Computers\My Computer\IIS WAMREG Admin Service
Open up IIS WAMREG Admin Service properties and go to security, customize all 3 to have full rights to your SharePoint service account.
And your errors will go away.

I am getting that Microsoft Office SharePoint Server Gathering Manager error, but even when I add IWAM_<ComputerName> account to local administrators group the error continues. What else could cause this problem?

What’s the CLSID being reported in event manager?

The CLSID was 3D42CCB1-4665-4620-92A3-478F47389230 and it showed as mssearch.exe in the registry. It does look like this solution eventually fixed the error though because it went away the next day and has not come back since.
