[thelist] ASP and GetObject....

Howdy folks...

I'm trying to get information from the IIS (v5) Metabase. My test code 
works with VBS, but fails with ASP.

e.g.
     On Error Resume Next
     Set w3svc = GetObject("IIS://" & varComputerName & "/w3svc")
     If Err.Number = 0 Then
          ''Connect worked, go do stuff
     Else
          ''Connect Failed
          response.write Err.Number
     End If
     On Error GoTo 0

When I print the Err.Number, I get "70". Which of course means nothing to 
me. ;-P

I think this is a permissions error, e.g. IIS running as the Anonymous 
Account, so it doesn't have permissions to invoke that object.

Clues? Clue bats?
