|> What is DCE and DME?

DCE == "Distributed Computing Environment"
DME == "Distributed Management Environment"

DCE is the low-level support for distributed computing, including RPC support
and authentication (using Kerberos V5).

DME, which is built on top of DCE, provides management functions, such as
network management and user account management.  It's biggest component,
I think, is the Tivoli/Works object-oriented management environment.

Yes.
