SharePoint 2010 beta error: Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {BDEADF26-C265-11D0-BCED-00A0C90AB50F} failed due to the following error: 800703fa
So I ran into this issue after having installed my SharePoint 2010 farm with 3 servers. At first I did not want to spend a lot of time troubleshooting this and I solved it be reprovisioning my Central Admin which solved the issue. However one day later, the issue was back. after further investigatioàn this time I got an error indicating:
--> Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {BDEADF26-C265-11D0-BCED-00A0C90AB50F} failed due to the following error: 800703fa
When performing an IIS reset, the error disappears. You could schedule a iisreset, but hey let's try to fix this. My good friend Google, found the solution on the blog of Kasper de Jonge.

The solution:
Go to IIS Manager, select the Application Pool for your central administration web application and click Advanced settings, change the value for “Load User Profile” to “true”
Thanks Kasper for this one
