DCOM with Win98-WinNT and a workgroup

[auclair]

We have a little network with a DCOM client on Win98 and
the DCOM server on our Win NT4 server.

I cannot connect the server object if the users logged on the two computer are different (it works good with the two computers logged as administrator...).

I can connect the server object if the NT4 server is defined as a Domain server but it doesnt work if the server is defined as a workgroup server.

does anybody have an explanation ??

Can you connect DCOM with win98-winNT and a workgroup ?

Thanks. [sig][/sig]

Hi,

We had a similar problem with Win 2000, when logged into the workgroup. But it worked when logged in as a valid user in the domain. Also make sure to add the user (whoever is logged in to the server) in Default Security -> Default Access Permissions tab of dcomcnfg.

auclair,
as a point of interest did you manage to resolve the problem as we, too, are having not too disimilar problems.

we still get the error429 - object cannot be created on the win98_cli but if the client app is run (physically) on the server all objects can be created and all appears to be well???

any help along this would be appreciated!
