Abstract

A method and system for preventing incorrect information from corrupting server object information maintained by a client machine. A DCOM client machine is provided with object reference information for accessing remote objects. DCOM unmarshals the information into server object information, including an object identifier and string bindings of a remote resolver through which the client machine may contact the remote server to obtain string bindings for that remote object. Each resolver string bindings received by a client machine are compared against known resolver string bindings and each unique permutation of string bindings is associated with a unique machine identifier locally generated therefor. Each object identifier is paired with its corresponding unique machine identifier so that all references to a remote object include the identity of the machine on which the object was created.
