Hi there,

Out of the box IIS 5 should be running ASP with ADO without any problems. If
you lost track of the configuration changes maybe you should
uninstall/reinstall IIS. Also make sure that users that are not members of
the administrators group can login interactively, if they can't it is a
simptom for greater trouble.

Tibor Biro
