>PMJI, but I had an odd experience 2 weeks ago with that. I've used the GETOBJECT approach here with no problem. I went to a client to install a WC app. This app uses the WinNT namespace for some user management. I downloaded and installed ADSI from the same place that I had used back here. It installed fine and worked properly with WinNT. Then I just happened to try the IISAdmin namespace and I received that Moniker error. The same thing back here worked--on same NT version and same IIS version as our client is running.

Only that this is probably what happened to Rick that made him write a VB wrapper. Interesting. I have yet to have a problem, on WinNT 4.0 with IIS 4 or Win2K.
