Hi Everyone,
On a Vista machine I have installed all options for IIS including the
compatibility sub features. But a regular call like the following

Set IISOBJ = getObject("IIS://LocalHost/W3SVC")

gives me error 70 - Permission denied.

I am logged in as the administrator. Metabase doesn't seem to be corrupted
either. Any clues on what could be going wrong? Thanks for any help.

Regards,
Sajan

Hi Sajan,

I've replied you in IIS newsgroup.

Thanks.

Hi Sajan,

The problem may be caused by new Vista security enhancement. Please go to
\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config directory. Right-click to open the config
files' security property. Verify your logon admin account has permission on
them first. Then please click Advanced button, take ownership of these
files in Owner tab.

After this, please restart IIS and check if you can successfully make the
metabase calls as before.

Please let me know if issue persists.

Thanks for using MSDN newsgroup. Have a great day.

Sincerely,

WenJun Zhang

Are you logged in as the actual built-in Administrator or an account
in the Administrator group.

By default, you need to elevate to administrator to be able to what
you want, as always. Being in the administrators group is insufficient
on Vista.

Thank you WenJun and David for responding. I realized my mistake much late.
I ended up opening a cmd prompt as administrator and launched cscript from
there.
