I have an internal web server (NT 4, IIS4) that has suddenly started getting the following error whenever an Active Server Page (ASP) tries to send email using CDONTS:
Microsoft VBScript runtime error ‘800a01ad’
ActiveX component can’t createobject
/ipsis/kmwoods/test/sendmail_test.asp, line 9
Where line 9 is the first line to use the CDONTS.Newmail object. There are no errors in the event log. These pages were working fine, and they run OK when copied to another server. The SMTP configuration is OK, and I have reloaded the NT service pack. I suspect a DLL or executable has gotten hosed, but don’t know what files are required for CDONTS to work. Any ideas how to fix this without having to reload the server, or reinstall IIS? Thanks.
