Hi

when I run the following:

Code: 
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<META NAME="GENERATOR" Content="Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0">
<TITLE></TITLE>

<%
	function getUserGroups(sUser)

	
	dim objGroup
	dim objUser
	sDomain = "SHBMAIN"
	Response.Write sUser & " - " & sDomain & "<br><br>"
	
	set objUser = GetObject("WinNT://" & sDomain & "/" & sUser ,"user")

	for each oGroup in objUser.Groups
		sGroups = sGroups & oGroup.Name & "<br>"
	Next

	response.write sGroups

	end function
%>

</HEAD>
<BODY >

<% call getUserGroups("daar01")%>

</BODY>
</HTML>

I get the following output:

Code: 
daar01 - SHBMAIN


Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01ad' 

ActiveX component can't create object: 'GetObject' 

/david/snapshots/getusergroups.asp, line 15

It runs fine as a vbs svript on my pc, but fails in an asp on the webserver. The webserver is an old recycled NT desktop.

I'd appreciate your thoughts.

I'm sure that it's a permissions thing. When your code is run on the webserver, does IUSR_WEB have access to do what you need? On most webservers, then answer is no.

I'm sure you're right - but can you tell me which specific permissions does the anonymous user need to run the code?

Thanks

I think that it is the active directory - does this help

Apart from the permission, you have a typo problem to start with.
>[tt]set objUser = GetObject("WinNT://" & sDomain & "/" & sUser ,"user")
set objUser = GetObject("WinNT://" & sDomain & "/" & sUser & ",user")[/tt]

I had tried that but get
Code: 
daar01 - SHBMAIN

error '800401e4' 
Invalid syntax 

/david/snapshots/getusergroups.asp, line 15
seemed to me I get further with the original syntax.
