Not sure if this is the right forum but my searches on this error code seem
to be pointing to a security issue. Here's what I have--

I am trying to change a users password in my client's document management
system through a .net web app that I am developing using C# and the core
services api that is included with the system. It looks simple enough - make
a call to the backend SQL 2000 database, open a connection and then make a
call to user.changepassword(oldpwd, newpwd, confirmpwd) and bingo the
password gets changed. As a matter of fact the sample ASP 3.0 script that is
included with the SDK does just that - I run the script passing the user
name along with the old password and the new password and everything works
fine. Looked at the source code for the script and there is nothing fancy
going on just some basic VBScript calls to open a database connection,
change the password and then close the database connection.

When I attempt to do the same thing in my .Net app I get the following error
message information -

System.Object:
{System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException}
 _COMPlusExceptionCode: -532459699
 _HResult: -2147467259
 _message "Error 0x80004005 occurred."

My development environment is-
Windows 2000 SP4
SQL Server 2000 SP3
IIS 5.0

Any and all help/suggestion will be appreciated.

TIA,
Bill Youngman
