script works in win2000 but not in win2003

I have an ASP script that calls a VBSCRIPT and it works fine in Windows 2000
but not on my new Windows 2003 server. Both servers are version 5.6 scripting

The error in IE is "Automation server can't create object"

Some of the code in my ASP file....
var shell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.shell")
shell.run("wscript \\\\sub.domain.com\script.vbs" .....etc

Is that ASP code or client-side code? By the error, it sounds to me that
it's client-side code. Default security settings in IE will not allow the
creation of WScript.Shell.

And can you paste your actual code into the message here? I imagine that's
not your real code, since you seem to have forgotten a share name as well as
a \.
