Subject:      DCOM (for ASP) & Windows 2003 Server Configuration
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"

We're struggling with getting SAS 8.2 Integration Technologies & DCOM
configured for the Windows 2003 Advanced Server which runs Internet
Information Services (IIS) version 6. We can get the direct connection
to test correctly using the SAS IT Administrator utility; however we are
not able to run any ASP on the IIS web server. We are very confident
that we are not setting a permission correctly in DCOM and/or IIS 6 to
allow the application to work correctly.

All of the documentation from SAS regarding DCOM and SAS IT
configuration refers to Windows 2003 Server AND SAS 9.1.3. We cannot
find documentation for Windows 2003 Server and SAS 8.2. Unfortunately
upgrading to SAS 9 on this server is not an option until late 2005 /
early 2006 so we need to figure this out with SAS 8.2.

The permissions and DCOM configuration "wizards" are different from the
Windows 2000/XP servers and Windows 2003 server.

Is anyone aware of documentation for SAS 8.2 Integration Technologies
(DCOM for ASP) and Windows 2003 Server? Or has anyone else had similar
experiences configuring Windows 2003 Server permissions?

Thanks in advance.
