>The problem had to do with a .dll which had ceased working in an intranet application. It was a simple object which would connect to a SQL database and return a datastream to the asp page. The object was being instantiated fine but when trying to create the connection to SQL Server I received an error : "Login failed for user .

I believe it had something to do with the anonymous user that was being used. The new security protocols apparently didn't work with it. Nevertheless, that was not an issue with the COM+ installation.
