SYMPTOMS
When you call a Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS) component from an IIS 4.0 Active Server Pages (ASP) page that is running on a different computer, you may receive intermittent failures when you create the MTS component and you may receive one of the following error messages in the ASP page:

Error 429 ActiveX cannot create object

-or-

800a01ad

NOTE: The 429 creation error message is a generic error message that is not specific to the problem described in this article.



CAUSE
This problem can occur if the following conditions are true:
 * The Web site that you are using has anonymous security.
 * The Web site that you are using is running in a separate memory space.



RESOLUTION
To work around this problem in Microsoft Windows NT 4.0, implement an intermediate package on the computer that is running IIS so that it forwards the calls to the computer that is running MTS. This component instantiates a remote component. For additional information, see the following article or articles in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

159311 Instantiating Remote Components in MTS and IIS

This problem has been fixed in Microsoft Windows 2000.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a bug in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
