I have been trying to run wshremote by following all the examples provided by
microsoft Windows Script technology documentation. Both from the 5.6 version
that I installed on my computer as weel as the online version

But no matter what I do I cannot get it to work.

I am trying the "RemoteTest.vbs" and "Beenhere.vbs" against a Win2K server
that doesn't have any restrictions from my XP Pro computer. If the Remote key
in the registry of the server is setup to 0, I get the following error:
Script: c:\remotecontrol\RemoteTest.vbs
Line: 2
Char: 1
Error: ActiveX Component Cannot be created
Code: 800A01AD
Source: Microsoft VBScript runtime error

When I change the Remote registry key in the server to 1 (as it should be to
allow for remote scripting execution) I get the following error:
Script: c:\remotecontrol\RemoteTest.vbs
Line: 2
Char: 1
Error: Catastrophic failure
Code: 8000FFFF
Source: Null

Can anyone help me figure out why I am getting this error? I have googled
for answers but have not turned out with anything good.
