APPLIES TO

  • Microsoft Internet Information Services 6.0




SYMPTOMS

An Active Server Pages (ASP) page calls Component Object Model (COM) objects that are running in a COM+ package on a computer that is running Microsoft Internet Information Services version 6.0 and Microsoft Windows Server 2003. After the ASP page refreshes many times, you receive the following error message:

2147220997 (0x800401fb - "Automation Error, object is not registered")

However, on Microsoft Windows 2000, the application works as expected.

CAUSE

This problem occurs if object references are stored in ASP Web application variables. This problem is caused by incorrect behavior of the ASP internal session UnInit handler.
