[ACADEMY] Windows Privilege Escalation Skills Assessment - Part I

Yeah I had that quite a bit in my attempts. Googling around brought me back to this forum post here and explained that error. For me, I had to continue until I found a CLSID that worked, but you may want to try resetting the target VM to start a fresh attack. I think network issues on the target host can cause that error, or potentially too many successive attempts might also cause the socket to close as well.
