Hi there.


We have a web site on a live server that uses asp
to control MS Word 97. It creates a word document and emails it to visitors.

In order to get it to work, the Microsoft site recommends I alter the DCOM
permissions of word on the server.

It says that I need to give launch and access permission to the following users:

System
Interactive
Everyone
Administrators
ISUSR_<machinename>
IWAM_<machinename>

My question is if I make these changes will that cause any security issues for the server that could be
exploited?

Has anyone come across this problem before?

I would be grateful to anyone if they could give me any advice
or alternatives.


Thank you

Mark
