Help with DCOM, remote server, and JBSCRIPT IE client

I've got a DCOM server application(exe) installed on Win2000 server. The Server creates a custom top level object. The application is registered, I've given launch and access permission to the default machine accounts, as well as specific users using DCOMNFG.EXE.

There is typically a specific user account logged on to the server at all times, and this account also has launch and exec priviledges. The IE clients all have Activex security settings set to enable(intranet).

The object and CLSIDs all seem to be correctly logged in the server registry.

I'm trying to start and connect to this server using IE5.5 and VBSCRIPT(client side only). The clients are on the network, but in a different domain and connected through a router. All users can connect to the server webpage.

No matter what I do, I get "ActiveX component: can't creat object" errors when I try various forms of "CreateObject" in the client side script.

If I run IE directly on the server machine itself, the createObject call succeeds, and launches the dcom server, but only momentarily before terminating, so none of my method calls work.


Can anyone tell me the correct VBSCRIPT CreateObject command(and arguments) I should be issuing to get the object instantiated on the remote machine?

Are there any good debugging tools for DCOM? I've tried just about everything I can think of. I'm not exactly clear on exactly how the vbscript call to createobject knows where to find the dcom server, and if I need a specific reference to the in the create object call.


Any help would be appreciated.
