RE: initialize COM within a web service

The likely culprit is permissions. Administering just about any server
product assumes you have administrator rights. ASP.net web services are
seriously sand-boxed and prevented from doing anything that requires
permisions outside of the local directory for the service (and even then,
file access should be considered a no-no).

Make sure you don't have any other recourse for remote administration. If
you want to make your service call a priveleged component that then calls
the admin service, you can create a com+ component, gate the methods to the
aspnet account, and then have the COM+ component run as a priveleged
account. Elevating permissions on your IIS asp.net thread is not a good
way to go.
