DCOM Server has to be logged in....

I have registered a DCOM (an exe file) on a win2k server, and configued permissions to it using DCOMCNFG. The problem is, that when I call the DCOM from an application on a workstation, it fails with 'Access Denied' unless the server is logged in. Once the server is logged in, it works fine.
It doesn't matter who the server is logged in as, and the DCOM is definitely not running as 'Interactive User' (it's currently set to run as a Domain Admin account) - what am I doing wrong?
 
No problem - I've sorted it myself now. It turns out the application was accessing some COMs on the same server, and it was those permissions which were set to 'Interactive User'. Changed that to a valid user identity, and all works fine now - shame no-one told me COMs were being used as well.
