remote com+ server.createobject failed

Hi,

Here's the situation: I have two W2K3 servers. One for running IIS
(websites) the other for running COM+. I created the com+ on the COM server,
expoprted it as proxy. Then, I ran the msi file on the webserver. The result
is: I get
Server object error 'ASP 0178 : 80070005'

Server.CreateObject Access Error

when trying to create object.

Here's the catch. While searching microsoft.com I've come accross a comment
where MS suggested to remove annoumous access and force login into the site.
I did.... Once logged in server.createoject worked.

Question is: How do I fix it so that I can announouse access?

Thanks in advance!

Like Alex, I can get access through an ASP page to my VB6 generated DCOM ActiveX.exe object if I authenticate as Admin through the browser, turning off anonymous access to the web site. But I can't seem to get access otherwise, receiving an ASP 0178 error instead. This is really aggravating because it works fine when the COM client machine is running W2K Server/IIS5. My strong suspicion is that either the updated COM+ or IIS components in W2003 are related to the problem.

I'm using the VB6 Packaging and deployment wizard to package up the client, which then includes the vbr and tlb files in the distribution exe that I run on the COM client. I have made sure that these files, along with the vb6 runtime client, all have iusr_<machinename> read/exec abilities. Under the component manager, the COM component I've installed shows up in 'DCOM Config', not 'COM+ Applications', and runs under the launching user account.

Any help would this would be most appreciated! Thanks, Rich.
