I'm trying to connect to an OPC server via openscada.

I already know the OPC server program ID given by MatrikonOPC explorer but the connection doesn't work probably due to a wrong DCOM configuration. Before to go further I would like to try to connect via the server CLSID.

How can I find out the OPC server CLSID?

If you are using Windows System,

Click on START -> Run -> Enter "dcomcnfg.exe"

Expand Component Services ->Computers -> My Computer -> DCOM Config

Then locate your OPC Server and right click on that you will get all the details of your OPC Server
