    There’s a good chance it’s NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE.

    You can go to the IIS manager, open the app pools, and open the advanced properties for the SharePoint app pool. The account will be listed as the “Credentials” property IIRC.

    Or, if you are here because of a DCOM Event error, look at the error message. It should list the name of the user account that had insufficient privileges.
