Windows 2012 R2 Dcomcnfg fails to expand Computer objects

[Insearchof55]

Windows 2012 R2
VMware 6.5
My Windows 2012 R2 Server is a VM on my ESXI Host 6.5
It also runs SQL 2014 Enterprise and is clustered with another Windows 2012 R2 Server running SQL 2014

The other day on the server I received an event 10016 DCom error.

So I went in to the registry and found the ID's and added administrator to the security tab.

The next step is to run DCOMCNFG expand Component Services the expand Computers.

When I try to expand Computers I get nothing displayed and the MMC hangs

I have to use task manager to kill the process.

Any ideas why I can not see the objects under computer?

I even ran as administrator and no luck.

Thanks

Tom
