An application I'm trying to deploy needs to call a C++ COM object which
I've set up as a COM+ pool. This works fine in XP, but on 2003 I get an
error whenever the dll is called. It states that it cannot create the
ActiveX component. After playing with permissions in the "Owner/Creator"
role (that doesn't seem to exist on XP) for the COM+ pool, I found that
adding "Authenticated Users" seems to do the trick, but I only want to have
what's absolutely needed in there to make this run. I've tried just the
aspnet user and IUSR but that isn't enough.

Can anyone point me to a good explanation of this or tell me the minimal
users I can have in there? Thanks!

On 2k3, I seems to recall that the aspnet_wp is ran as 'Network Service'. But it is shown as ASPNET in the lcaol users mmc. (which you have done.) But you can give 'Network Service' a try
