Create ActiveX object in VBS without console login

Iâ??m running a VB script that has been spun off of a Windows Service which is
configured as running as Local System, interact with DeskTop. The VB script
is driving an IE application â?? and the IE application creates a new IE
browser. My script is trying to find the browser with Shell.Application,
using the Windows method to cycle through the windows, finding the one I want.



My problem is that I get the error ActiveX Canâ??t Create Object when I try to
use the Windows method. However it works if Iâ??m logged into the system
console. Is there a permission/setting I can set to have it work without
having the system console logged in?

If you do not have an answer to this question, can yourecommend another
newsgroup or resource to post this question to?

Appreciatively,

Lisa

Hello Lisa,

Sorry for the very big delay of our response to this issue due to the
non-spam registering problems. Are you still monitoring the issue and in
need of our help?

I queried the ActiveX issue in our internal data base, and find a CSS case
opened in 2008-4-1, which talks about the exactly same scenario. I am not
sure if the case was opened by you. From the case log, I read that the
architecture (Windows service call VBS) is not expected to work and opens
security holes, and the only reasonable solution is to change this
architecture. Would you let me know if you have any other concerns on it?
If you have follow-up questions, feel free to let me, or the CSS case
owner, know.
