DCOM security issue (activation options not listed)

[JustBarno]

I wrote a asp.net program that utilizes excel.

In order to make it work, I had to add permissions in DCOM for the ASP.NET account to run excel.

It works great on my system, but when the time came to copy to production, the DCOM security for Excel application does not list local activation or remote activation.

Without those options, the program will not run, please advise on how to add those options.

it appears that the reason that those options are not there is because it is a windows server 2003 box instead of an XP pro box (none of my 2003 boxes have those options). It appears that DCOM needs to be configured differently on WS2003.

Any help or direction is greatly appreciated.
