| Definition
| DCOM is an extension of the Microsoft Component Object Model (COM) that allows COM components to communicate across network boundaries. DCOM uses the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) mechanism to transparently send and receive information between COM components—i.e., clients, servers—on a single network. Traditional COM components can perform interprocess communication only across process boundaries on a single computer. DCOM debuted in 1995 with the release of Windows NT 4.
