Hi Dominic,

I recently went through the same task as you, and had the same problems.
After spending a great deal of time researching all of the different
solutions and being unable to fix the problem, I ended up going into
Component Services, opening the properties on the COM+ Application, and
disabling the "Enforce access checks for this application" under the
security tab. 

Hope that helps,

Douglas Schlenker

Dear list members,

I have a project with Windows 2003 (Enterprise).  We have a COM+ application
and an ASP Web Site.  The COM+ application needs to access to different DBs.

The application works fine on Windows 2000 SP4.  But I installed it on a
Windows 2003 machine and I have the message "Access Denied" in my ASP page
at the line where I call the DLL included in my COM+ application.  I saw in
the Application Event Log that IUser_WebServer was denied to access my COM+
application.

I made some research on the Net and I found a way to do it by adding a role
in my COM+ application for my IUser_WebServer user.  After I added this
role, it works fine.

However, I was wondering if it is a security issue to do it that way.  If
yes, how should I do it?

Any help or comments would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Dominic
