Notes

The Workplace Shell uses the Distributed SOM (DSOM) framework from the System Object Model (SOM) for cross-process calls. A DSOM server must be running to allow cross-process calls. This API call, WinIsWPDServerReady, determines if the DSOM server process has been started.

You can also see if the DSOM server process is running with the WPDSINIT.EXE command-line program.
