Tommy, crap, i used to do this all the time but under the old NT DCOM way of doing things.

Dumb question ... did you build a standalone ActiveX server (.exe) or a inproc (.dll) snapin. If a snapin, are you running it under (what i used to call) MS Transaction Server (COM+) ?

What i used to do was (if memory serves) install and setup the dll in MTS as a package, then create an "export" package that would be moved to all the workstations and "installed" - this mini-install sets up all the proxy/stub info on the wks (required) ...

Then I used to administer the whole thingy using dcomcnfg.exe but under COM+, not too sure what gets used now.

Hope this help a little.
