Com class failure

[DBC User]

I have a web service and when I try to do consume a service I get an
error message something like the following

Server was unable to process request ---> Retrieving the COM class
factory for component with clasid {...} failed due to the following
error : 80070005

Does anyone know how to resolve this?

Thanks.

You need to give a little more information on this. Are you trying to
consume an ASP.NET Web Service with code in COM? Are you in control of the
web service? If so, is IT calling a COM component?

This is definitely way too little information.

80070005 means that you are dealing with a DCOM security issue, probably you
are trying to create an instance of an out-proc component while the caller
has no access privileges to launch or create an instance.
What COM server are you trying to access and what's the identity of the
caller?
Note that webservices (in general) run in the security context of a
restricted user account (defaults : aspnet or network service), unless you
grant them launch and access privileges (see dcomcnfg), these accounts
cannot access COM servers.

Thanks both, yes I am trying to consume a asp.net web service. I do not
have control over the web services, its been developed by another
group. I will pass along this information for those folks to debug.
Thanks.
