DCOM permission denied under SP2

[Heiko]

Hi,

we have a problem with our vb6 application that runs under xp when sp2
is installed.
What the application does is that it creates a dcom object gives a
reference to a dcom server on a w2k machine and waits for the dcom
server to call a method on this object.
What happens is that the dcom server get a permission denied message
when it tries to call the method and our application hangs.
We experience the same behaviour when the passed object reference
points to a XML document.
The problem can also be reproduced with the dcom performance tester
tool dt.exe.

What we have tried so far:
1. open the fire wall for the dcom ports / deactivating the firewall
2. giving maximum rights and limts in the dcom configuration.
both had no success.

We found a scenario that worked:
1. opening the firewall
2. giving maximum rights and limits in the dcom configuration.
3. running the applications on both machines under the same windows
user

But we cannot use the same user on both machines in general.

Has anybody an idea, if there is another configuration that we have
not found yet?

Thnx
Heiko
