I created a sample Windows Script Component (WSC). It also illustrates the use of DCOM. I had a devil of a time configuring the
Windows XP server and client DCOM environments using the Component Services control panel. It has always been hard --SP2 has made it even harder. In the end I just turned off the firewalls (on both the client and server sides) and made the DCOM server run as the logged in user. Obviously, those measures are only good for testing purposes. If I'm feeling masochistic, I might try to figure out the right way to do it some day. Right after I internalize the MS SharePoint security configuration...
