Hi Casey-

One idea would be to check the registry on the server which gives the access
denied error for the registry value below:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\OLE

REG_SZ value
value name "EnableDCOM" (without the quotes)
value data of "Y" (without the quotes)

If this key and value are not present add them and then see if that helps.
Please repost to let us know how this goes.
