DCOM call from an ASP page.

[Tapasvi Mehta]

I have a COM component running on another Windows 2000
server. I want to call that component from the IIS server,
which is on another Windows 2000 server. How can i do that
from an ASP page ?

To create an object in ASP application, we can use "Server.CreateObject".
To create a remote component (on another computer), we can use DCOM or
COM+. You may refer following articles:

Yes, that will install a proxy stub on the 'client' machine - the one
downfall is that is hard-coded to use that one specific server. And you
can't really do load-balancing or fail-over without having two different
versions of the DCOM object installed.. In short:

-COM object installed in COM+ on ServerA.
-Export package
-Install that package on Server B
-In ASP, on ServerB - use CreateObject() as you normally would..

When i tried to export a package, the application proxy
option is not available. It is disabled, what could be the
problem ?
