Special Permission for IWAM or IUSR to run VBS File?

I'm trying to setup a small ASP app that our Accounts department can
use to kick off database procedures through a browser. To do this I
need the ASP page to kick off a preprepared .VBS script file. I've
made some good progress on this, but have hit a brick wall and dont
know where to go next.

I have setup a basic HTML form which submits a request to an ASP page.
The ASP page creates a WSCRIPT shell on the server and runs the
appropriate .VBS script file. This approach works perfectly if I
point it at a .BAT file, but for some reason when I ask it to run a
..VBS file, nothing happens???

I'm assuming this is a permissions problem, or that something in
security is stopping my VBS file from running. I have been unable to
find the source of this denial, so have resorted to granting the IUSR
and IWAM accounts full control of the folder. And have added them in
the Administrator group for good measure. But depressingly this has
made no difference at all.

I would therefore appreciate any help or advice anyone can offer to
resolve this issue as I simply do not know what to try next! Where
does one go after granting Administrator rights?

TIA,

Colin

I'm running a intranet site on a NT 4.0 IIS 4 server. I have a page that uses CDONTS. I recently change this intranet application to run as an isolated process (Selecting the checkbox "Run in separate memory space"). Now every time I get to the line objMail.Send, I get a permission denied message (Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a0046' Permission denied) . If I de-select the box, everything works fine. Here is the NT event in the log:...

Hello, I'm not sure if I'm in the right area. I have asp pages that call a database and sometimes updates it. The pages are under the root the database is in a db folder under the root. My server guy isn't too sure what the permissions should be on the server to these folders (root & db). Can you give me some general instructions for this? Or point me in the right direction for the answer? Thanks

Hi, I recently moved several sites from a dying 2000 Server to a Windows 2003 Server box.

Right now I'm having FSO problems on a bit of code like this:

Our server administrators recently changed the permissions of most of our servers (you know how it is, the developers had, shock horror, got to know the domain administrator password, and some decision was made on high to clamp down on everything) This consequently has had the effect of rendering our live ASP.NET 2 web server useless with page requests for .NET sites returning ACL permission errors. I ran a few tools and found out...
