Found the problem. First, I was wrong about where the script was getting
stuck. After removing an "on error resume next" statement (dumb), I could
easily see the script die with an ADODB.Connection error (this portion was
not in the snippet I included in my previous message). Upon further research
and testing, it appears that the "oledb32.dll" file was not upgraded during
the Windows 2003 upgrade, as it was still at version 2.71, instead of
version 2.80.
The solution was to download the latest MDAC files, extract the oledb32.dll
file, copy it to the proper locations on the server, then register the dll
with the system. The script works perfectly now.
