• Once you have created a COM+ partition using Active Directory Users and Computers, you must then create an empty partition on a application server and associate it with the appropriate COM+ partition in Active Directory. For more information, see Related Topics.
• When creating a new COM+ partition, a partition ID is automatically generated and displayed under Partition ID in the Properties dialog box. If you want to specify a different GUID for the new COM+ partition, delete the existing partition ID and type a new one.
