My gut feeling is
that 8070005 is a catch-all error code for any number of database / DCOM
connection problems. If I had to stick my neck out, I would say that it's a permissions problem. Thanks to readers sending in information on this error code, we are slowly building up a library
of problems, and even more important, solutions.
What I can offer is general principles, such as, pay close attention to the line number.
You will soon discover that Line: number gives the best clues for solving the
problem.
Following the line number, I would turn my attention to permissions, are you logged on as an
administrator? What is the script trying to achieve? Does the file or folder referenced need admin rights?
1. Start -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Local Security Policy 2. Navigate to Security\Local Policies\Security Options
a. Network Access: Let everyone permissions apply to anonymous users - Set to Enabled c. DCOM: Machine Access Restrictions - Add Anonymous, Everyone, Interactive, Network, System with full rights options
set. d. Network Access: Let everyone permissions apply to anonymous users - Set to Enabled e. Network Access: Sharing security model for local accounts - Set to Classic
The "Sharing Security model"
is the real offending item I believe, and setting the above should fix the problem. If not then I went as far as setting the following in DCOMCNFG.
DCOM Configuration
1. Click Start -> Run 2. Enter
DCOMCNFG and press OK. This will open the DCOMCNFG window. 3. Browse down the tree to Console Root -> Component Services -> Computers -> My Computer 4. Right click on "My Computer" and select
properties 5. Select the "Default Properties" tab a. Enable Distributed COM on this computer - Option is checked b. Default Authentication Level - Set to Connect c. Default Impersonation Level -
Set to Identify 6. Select the "COM Security" tab 7. Click on Access Permissions ' Edit Default a. Add "Anonymous", "Everyone", "Interactive", "Network", "System" with Local and Remote access
permissions set. 8. Click on Launch and Activation Permissions ' Edit Default a. Add "Anonymous", "Everyone", "Interactive", "Network", "System" with Local and Remote access permissions set. 9.
Click on OK 10. Close the DCOMCNFG window
This was done with some trial and error on four identical HP Workstations running small vbs programs. Once one was working, I just had to figure out why
the others weren't. Guy says this is
We had similar error 80070005 problem in our team. The problem was with IIS server in XP Professional environment. FoxPro 9 (foxisapi) was used for dynamic creation of the web pages.
It is
strange, but the problem was resolved by changing the value in “User Name” field in the Authentication Method popup window (Control Panel > IIS > Default Web Site > Properties > page Directory Security >
Anonymous Access – Edit button). The value was changed to ‘EVERYONE’ and the error has disappeared. However, "everyone" is not the only possible word. Seems that all words, which are different than the
names of the existing IWAM_* and IUSR_* users are OK.
My error 80070005 was down to a setting within IIS for my website. The default application is set to "default application pool", whereas I have changed this is "Exchange Application" and it now works fine.
In this instance you are managing Users with Active Directory Users and Computers. Most likely, you try and update a subset of attributes on user objects. In particular, this problem occurs when
you try to update the values for users who have mailboxes enabled.
When you browse to an Active Server Page (ASP) database results page, you receive an error
message saying:
Server object error 'ASP 0178 : 80070005'
Server.CreateObject Access Error
/_fpclass/fpdbrgn1.inc, line 83
The call to Server.CreateObject failed while checking
permissions. Access is denied to this object.
This error can be caused by incorrect NTFS permissions for your "%ProgramFiles%\Common Files\System" folder.
Solution: To solve
this problem change the NTFS permissions on the "%ProgramFiles%\Common Files\System" folder. Add Everyone to the existing permissions, give at least Read permissions to Everyone, remember to apply
these new settings to all files and subfolders.
Another Solution: Try logging on as administrator.
Therefore, if you have a screen shot and a code then send it to me,
a) I will do my my best to solve it.
b) I will add it here with a credit to you.
