Server 2008 / Network Access Protection Error

The event log was giving the following error:

The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Launch permission for the COM Server application with CLSID
{24FF4FDC-1D9F-4195-8C79-0DA39248FF48}
to the user NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM SID (S-1-5-18) from address LocalHost (Using LRPC). This security permission can be modified using the Component Services administrative tool.

This was due to Network Access Protection being requested from some clients but not enabled on the server. Simply set the Network Access Protection service to Auto and start it.
