Hi Ofer,

I wonder if run the same code in a .vbs file with cscript, will it
work? To confirm the issue is just related to IIS security setting,
you can maximize the ASP running permission.

1) Right-click the site's Application pool in IIS mmc and open its
Properties->Identity tab. Change the running account from Network
service(default) to Local System.

2) In the ASP page's virtaul directory->Directory Security
tab->Authentication and access control, disable anonymous access and
select Integrated Windows authentication.

3) Use iisreset in a command line to restart IIS.

After that, logon as administrator to browse this page. Then the
site's process identifier is Local System and the asp thread's
identifier is administrator. See if the error will no longer occur.
If it persists, probably the code isn't compatible to run in IIS6
wpm(worker process mode).

In IIS6 mmc, right-click the 'Web Sites' folder and open properties.
In Service tab, switch IIS6 to run in IIS5 isolation mode to have a
test.

Please update here on any results or you need further assistance.
Have a nice day,
