Could you elaborate on this some? As I understand it the users' account setups should not affect operation of my COM servers as they should run under the ID I specified in DCOMCNFG. As far as I know we set up everything regarding security on the Win2K servers tha same as on the WinNT servers. Since the users come in over the web I do not expect remote access to be an issue here, but I am obviously missing something with regards to Win2K security.

When clicking a link attempts to invoke the COM server, it appears that Win2K is trying to use the user's ID to invoke the COM server instead of the ID set in DCOMCNFG.
