When you call a Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS) component from an IIS 4.0 Active Server Pages (ASP) page that is running on a different computer, you may receive intermittent failures when you create the MTS component and you may receive one of the following error messages in the ASP page:

Error 429 ActiveX cannot create object

CAUSE

This problem can occur if the following conditions are true:

This component instantiates a remote component. For additional information, see the following article or articles in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

This problem has been fixed in Microsoft Windows 2000.
