CreateObject Failure

[G. Harland]

I have a webservice that is attempting to issue a CreateObject call for a
COM+ component.

When the code passes the name of a load balanced node, it fails. When the
code passes a name of one of the servers in the cluster, it works.

examples:
CreateObject("my_component","cluster.name.fails") ' this fails
CreateObject("my_component","servername_in_the_cluster") ' this works

Before I go off and start fighting with our server support staff over this,
is it even possible to issue the cluster name? The help docs say it can
resolve through DNS or IP address, so is it possible I need to pass the IP to
the node? Or is it a code problem, where I will have to change my code to
not call the node?

Any help/suggestions/ideas would be much obliged.

Thanks,
Glenn Harland

I'd lay 10:1 odds it's a permissions issue. If you're trying to execute these
COM+ calls from within the asp.net worker process, the asp.net worker process
will need the privledges to execute your com+ components.
