Hi

We have a distributed application written in VB6 and the database in MS SQL
2000. Usually we host the server components in Component Services and
install an Application Proxy on the client computers with the client
components.
Now this has worked on many computers and configurations:
Server: Windows NT 4, Windows 2000
Clients: Windows 95, 98, NT 4, 2000 and XP.
We also have one scenario where the Server components are loaded on a
Windows 2003 server and the client components are loaded on a Windows 2003
Terminal Server.

The problem that we currently have is when the server components are hosted
on Windows 2003 server and the client components on Windows 2000 (SP4) or
Windows XP (SP1).
When running the program on the client, we get an error: "The component or
application containing the component has been disabled."

Yes, the component is enabled in Component Services and we tried exporting
the Application Proxy normally and with the checkbox COM 1.0 ... checked.

Please help.

Hi

So someone found the problem. Just thought I should post it just in case
someone else have a similar problem.

On Windows 2003 Server, COM+ access for remote computers is disabled by
default.
To enable, go to Add / Remove Programs -> Add / Remove Windows Components,
choose "Application Server" from the list and click Details and select the
"Enable network COM+ access."

Regards

William
