Running ASP Classic on iis 6.0

I'm moving several existing applications from a Windows 2000, IIS 5.0
box to a
Windows 2003, iis 6.0 box. I have no interest in upgrading the
applications to
..Net. These apps work fine as is on the 2000 box. But in 2003, it
seems that I'm running into errors with my ADO objects. The asp code
does run, but the code does not seem to recognize the ADO objects. I
am not getting error messages and I'm not getting any interaction with
the database. ADO code is just ignored as best I can tell.

My goal is to modify the server 2003 environment so that I can run
existing ASP apps unchanged so I can avoid a round of testing and get
these applications moved in the shortest amount of time with least
effort.

I've looked all over the web for serveral hours trying to find a list
of the changes I need to make to run existing asp classic on 2003, but
all I find is how to modify the application code so that it becomes a
..Net application. I don't want to do this.

Thanks for any good feedback!

you really shouldn't have to change any of the ASP code - but since
IIS6.0 is tightly locked down by default there might be permissions
issues you need to take care of.

perhaps the ADO DLLs are off-limits to the anonymous account? though
that _should_ produce an error message rather than just failing...
