Hi

I am trying to get this very simple script to work:

<%
Option Explicit
Set objServer = CreateObject("wmsserver.server")
Set PubPoints = objServer.PublishingPoints
Set PlayerCount = objServer.Players
%>

But I keep running into this error:
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a0046'
Permission denied: 'CreateObject'
/test.asp, line 2

To get around this problem I have enabled

Basic Authentication
Made the a user that is a member of the local administrators group -
That makes the script work. I do not know why it does not work under
Windows Integrated Authentication.

Since I am not interested in having users running under local
administrators group I have tried to change the users rights for the
following instances:
Registry -> WMSServer.Server
DCOMCNF -> Windows Media Services
C:\Windows\System32\Windows Media
C\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\1.1.4322\Temp...

This still gives me permission denied.

My question is - Where do I need to change user rights to be able to:
Set objServer = CreateObject("wmsserver.server")
Using ASP?

Make sure you've registered the COM object, which I assume is on the
machine you're running IIS on. To do that, go to

Start -> Run and type in

regsvr32 WMSServerTypeLib.dll

You can read about the complications of using DCom if you're trying to
connect to a remote WMS, on this MSDN page :

Something else to look at is the permissions for the path used for "TEMP";
had similar issue with TEMP=%SystemRoot%\TEMP and the account used for
creating the object; also check your own value for TEMP if running using your
credentials.
