Does DCOM work with an NT workstation and a Windows 98 machine

[harmmeijer]

The NT workstation contains the DCOM server file and a client application, running the client application on the NT machine starts the DCOM just fine. Running the client application on the Windows 98 machine always result in the error Permission denied or can’t create object. This always happens in the following line:
Set hh = CreateObject("hchat.chclass&quot
Checked the following:
DCOM 98 is installed on the client and in DCOMCNFG.EXE checked enable remote connection and enable distributed com on this computer in server and client

Pinged the location witch is in the dcom client settings (Run application on the following computer)

Put everybody in the permission list of the NT workstation (also DCOMCFG.EXE)

Pinged the client from the server.


I wonder what safety settings I have to set for the client to use the DCOM on the NT Workstation because when I add users these are the users witch are registered on the NT workstation machine (there is no Domain). I added Network but this does not help.

Does somebody know where I can download good sample code with explanations about using it??

Hi

I don't know much about DCOMCNFG utility.

But the same task can be achieved by means of MTS Explorer.

Have U tried it.

MTS Explorer and DCOMCNFG are doing the same thing (I think).

create the dll.Register it at the server.
Create it as a component using MTS.
Export the component to the client machine.
Register the component at the client's machine
Run the application at the client.

Thanks

Where can I get MTS, I hear its on the NT option pack but I don`t have it.

Need to study the MTS for the 70-175 exam.

My problem with DCOM is that if I install the DCOM server the application works but when I install DCOM client (without the exe or dll file and with the VBR file) the client application using the DCOM cannot see the DCOM (cannot create object) or is not authorised to (error 70).

I just wonder if it is possible for a network (windows 98 and NT workstation 4 service pack 4) in a workgroup to use DCOM.

And why am I not authorised to use it (the client) when I put in everything I can find in the user and user group list as authorised.
