DCOM settings, how to access the "newer" computer properties

Answered DCOM settings, how to access the "newer" computer properties

     Some time ago Microsoft released a service pack (or something) that extended COM+ to make available items such as; Network DTC Access, Allow Inbound/Outbound, Enable TIP, etc. However, I cannot find how to access these settings programmatically. I've looked at the ComAdmin objects but I just can't locates these properties. Any ideas?
    PS. If there is a better way than going via Interop to ComAdmin in powershell then I'd love to know.

    Looks like these are all stored in the registry:

    Did you need some PowerShell examples?

    Thanks for the reply, I discovered that the hard way by using ProcessMon and running components services! I dislike going direct to the registry if there is a "correct" API to use. However, the lack of any information about accessing these settings does make me think that the registry is indeed the only viable solution. Thanks for confirming that.

    PS. I believe using the registry via Powershell is very easy so I'll give that a go first...before asking.
