I have found lots of information on this error - but being a rooky to DCOM & MTS I can't make it go away!!<br><br>I have a simple DLL written in Visual C++. I used MTS to register the DLL to use in our websites. On my machine a the office test server it works fine. The same DLL registered on our production server does not work. I get the error:<br><br>Server object error 'ASP 0177 : 80080005' <br><br>Server.CreateObject Failed <br><br>/checkout/asptear_test.asp, line 9 <br><br>Server execution failed <br><br>More Info:<br>I use the command Server.CreateObject<br><br>In MTS the Package is set up to use "Interactive User - the current logged on user"<br><br>Both Administrator (the logged in user on the production machine) and Everyone have "Login as Batch" privilege. Although I don't really know what this means, or who need this priviledge...<br><br>I ran DCOMCFG, everything looks like it does in my help file<br><br>I checked the registry, all the path's and CLSID appear to be right.<br><br>In the Event logs I get the following messages:<br><br>The server {855A1C80-AE01-11D1-962A-080009AC281A} did not register with DCOM within the required timeout. <br><br>Handle Closed:<br> Object Server: Security Account Manager<br> Handle ID: 1603120<br> Process ID: 2162779264<br><br> Object Open:<br> Object Server: Security Account Manager<br> Object Type: SAM_DOMAIN<br> Object Name: BRAIN<br> New Handle ID: -<br> Operation ID: {0,7468262}<br> Process ID: 2162779264<br> Primary User Name: SYSTEM<br> Primary Domain: NT AUTHORITY<br> Primary Logon ID: (0x0,0x3E7)<br> Client User Name: <br> Client Domain: <br> Client Logon ID: (0x0,0x3B3B)<br> Accesses CreateLocalGroup <br> LookupIDs <br> <br> Privileges -<br> <br>Object Open:<br> Object Server: Security Account Manager<br> Object Type: SAM_DOMAIN<br> Object Name: BRAIN<br> New Handle ID: -<br> Operation ID: {0,7468262}<br> Process ID: 2162779264<br> Primary User Name: SYSTEM<br> Primary Domain: NT AUTHORITY<br> Primary Logon ID: (0x0,0x3E7)<br> Client User Name: <br> Client Domain: <br> Client Logon ID: (0x0,0x3B3B)<br> Accesses CreateLocalGroup <br> LookupIDs <br> <br> Privileges -<br> <br><br>I hope this is enough info (I have been collecting it for 2 days!!). We have all the service packs installed (VS 6, MDAC 2.1, NT). BTW all the machines are NT running SQL 7.0 and IIS 5.0.<br><br>TIA<br>September<br>
