Why, exactly, does Service A need to know whether DCOM is running?  If
Service B is the one that is using DCOM, then Service B, not Service A,
should be the one to check for that.  All Service A should worry about is
whether Service B starts or not.  And, in fact, Service B does not even need
to explicitally check for DCOM anyway.  The OS will handle that
automatically.  If Service B makes a DCOM call that fails, Service B can
report on that.  If it is during Service B's initialization, then Service B
can fail to start altogether, which Service A can then detect.  Service B
can even report that it is failing to start specifically because of a DCOM
failure, and then Service A can use that error info as needed.
