HELP! "Access is denied to this object." - Server object error 'ASP 0178 : 80070005'

[mrwoopey]

Hi,

When I try to do Server.CreateObject on an activeX DLL, I receive the
following message:

'''''''''''''''''''''''
Server object error 'ASP 0178 : 80070005'

Server.CreateObject Access Error

/MyDirectory/MyPage.asp, line 118

The call to Server.CreateObject failed while checking permissions.
Access is denied to this object.
'''''''''''''''''''''''

It works on my production server and this is happening on my
development server. The only real difference between the two
environments are that development has Windows 2000 SP4 with most of
the security patches. It use to work but I believe after my network
admin added SP4 and the patches, I started receiving these errors. Is
there a workaround? Or another patch to run?

I read many post on how I would need to give read rights to
ISUR_SERVERNAME and IWAM_SERVERNAME on the dll and perhaps even the
folder that it sits in.
On my production server there are no rights for these users. So, I
don't think that's it. I tried giving my dll those rights, but I still
get the error message. Basically, the two environments are the same
(including rights) except for the fact that my development machine is
more patched.

One more thing, my dll is a proxy dll (com+), so in component services
it refers to a database server that also has this dll. I compared the
permissions in my development and production and they are the same.

Like I said, it use to work but believe this came about after our
network admin added SP4 and the patches.

Any advice and suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Phin

Is the object registered on the server?
Is it set up properly in the DCOM Configuration?
Can you instantiate it through OLE Viewer?
Need more Info.

Thanks for your advice. My hard drive ended up crashing and I
reinstalled my environment and I can now use the dll!
