Permissions:NT services and ASP?

I'm trying to set up an ASP app to control and report on various services
using ADSI on an XP Pro server. The code works as an EXE VB app but doesn't
as an ASP VBScript app. What security context does an ASP app need to
operate in to manipulate system services? Is that actually the problem or is
there some issue in ASP or VBScript that prevents access to the ADSI service
interfaces? (In this case IADsServiceOperations )

TIA,

BGV

Try putting that content in a folder that requires permissions and logon
with an account that has admin access.
