Vista - IIS - GetObject()

Hi Sajan,

The problem may be caused by new Vista security enhancement. Please go to
\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config directory. Right-click to open the config
files' security property. Verify your logon admin account has permission on
them first. Then please click Advanced button, take ownership of these
files in Owner tab.

After this, please restart IIS and check if you can successfully make the
metabase calls as before.

Please let me know if issue persists.

Thanks for using MSDN newsgroup. Have a great day.

Sincerely,

WenJun Zhang

Thank you WenJun and David for responding. I realized my mistake much late.
I ended up opening a cmd prompt as administrator and launched cscript from
there.
