Two IIS 6 on 2K3 issues

[Brian Knopp]

Hi, all.

I'm migrating a distributed app from 2K to 2K3, and I'm well into the "last
10%". The architecture has a web server and a COM component server, using
MSI to install the registration info onto the web server.

The process flow is as follows:
1. client posts an XML request to an ASP page on the web server.
2. web server validates the XML and stores it in an MSMQ, on the web
server.
3. web server creates the beginning-of-process COM component, and invokes
it.
4. stuff happens on the COM server (that's been tested by direct
invocation, and it works)
5. results are returned to the web server from the call
6. if the call is successful, the item is removed from the queue, and the
client gets his answer

The web server can see and create objects on the COM server when I do it
logged in as me. However, I'm getting the following two errors:

1. "The queue does not exist or you do not have sufficient permissions to
perform the operation. " when I try to open the storage queue

2. "-2147221164 006~ASP 0196~Cannot launch out of process component~Only
InProc server components should be used. If you want to use LocalServer
components, you must set the AspAllowOutOfProcComponents metabase setting.
Please consult the help file for important considerations." when I try to
create the beginning-of-process object.

I've given the iwam_machinename user rights to the queues, and to the COM
proxies. What am I missing?

Thanks in advance.

I know quite a few security changes have been made between IIS6 and COM on
Windows Server 2003, though I'm no expert on it.

FYI: microsoft.public.inetserver.iis is a better place to ask this
question.
