SYMPTOMS
When you try to access a COM+ 1.5 catalog remotely on Windows XP from COM+ 1.0 on Windows 2000 or Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS) on Window NT 4.0, you receive the following error message:

0x8011042C (-2146368468) - The server catalog version is not supported.

You receive this error if you use the COMAdmin Application Programming Interface (API) or if you add a remote computer through the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in and open the COM+ Applications folder.



CAUSE
To support new COM+ 1.5 features, the catalog has been extended. This problem occurs because the COM+ 1.5 catalog is not backwards compatible with the COM+ 1.0 catalog.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, administer COM+ 1.5 locally or from a remote COM+ 1.5 computer.



MORE INFORMATION
You can connect to a COM+ 1.0 catalog from COM+ 1.5. This is the only scenario in which you can go across versions. For more information, see the &quot;References&quot; section.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior
  Paste the following code into a .vbs file: dim oCat dim oApps dim sServerName

sServerName = inputBox(&quot;Enter the name of the remote server&quot;)

if len(sServerName) then set oCat = createObject(&quot;COMAdmin.COMAdminCatalog&quot;) oCat.connect sServerName set oApps = oCat.getCollection(&quot;Applications&quot;) oApps.populate msgBox &quot;Successfully connected to remote server&quot; end if                    Run this script on a COM+ 1.0 computer. Point to a COM+ 1.5 computer, and you receive the following error message:

Script: C:\Connect_Remote.vbs

Line: 11

Char: 9
