In the code level they can be exactly the same. If you have a COM EXE, you can run the dcomcnfg tool and configure it for DCOM. DCOM is COM with some permissions and access control.

The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's too late to stop reading it. My latest tip/trick

DCOM (Distributed COM) is nothing but COM over network.
