I would greatly appreciate help on issue that looks as have been resolved
before:

I wrote a ServicedComponent that reads and writes files to a folder on a
network share.
Platform is Windows 2000.
It gets called by ASPNET (local account) that do not have access to the
folder.
But I configured this component to run as Server ([assembly:
ApplicationActivation(ActivationOption.Server)]) with following settings:
[assembly:
ApplicationAccessControl(true,AccessChecksLevel=Ac cessChecksLevelOption.ApplicationComponent,
Authentication=AuthenticationOption.Packet,
ImpersonationLevel=ImpersonationLevelOption.Impers onate)]

I set Identity to run under my domain account (in development environment).
I put this component into GAC and registered with regsvcs.exe

component method has line like:

FileInfo _file = new FileInfo("\\server01\share$\Data\somefile.pdf");

I am not getting any Exception, but in Wahtch window I see following:

((System.MarshalByRefObject)(((System.IO.FileSyste mInfo)(_file))))
__identity <undefined value> System.Object

ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED 5 int
ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER 87 int
Length <error: an exception of type: {System.IO.IOException} occurred> long

That makes me think that I am missing something in configuration of the
Component.
Again, I would heartly apprecciate any clue on what I am missing with this
Component.

Don't use local account - set processModel account to a domain acount.

icationComponent,

Yes, domain account has write permission (as well as administrator) on the
share.
Checked against normal share - the same result.

Also - since it is my first COM+ component - I noticed that I did not do
following:
- I did not have public interfaces in the Component, just public static
methods (inside of which I create an instance of the class)
- I did not set any roles for the Component

Should I have to have them?

Thanks in advance,
Victor Kh.

Like I wrote before, I do have public methods:

public class fileMgr {

protected FileInfo fl;
public fileMgr() {}

public static long Copy (string sourceFileName, string targetFileName)
{
fileMgr mgr = new fileMgr();
mgr.fl = new FileInfo(sourceFileName);
if (mgr.fl.Exists)
{
mgr.fl.Copy(targetFileName)
}
else
{
throw new ex("Missing file " + sourceFileName);
}

}

}

In the web page I call:

fileMgr.Copy("\\server01\share$\Data01\somefile.pd f","\\server02\normalshare\Data02\newname.pdf") ;

Because of security problem I am always getting that file does not exists.
That why I am saying that it looks like I am missing something in
configuration of the COM+ component.
Tried different things - did not find any thing yet.
Any hint would be greatly appreciated

Yes, I do. I see the icon spinning in Component Services control center when
I call the method.
I use my own domain account to make sure it has permissions to read/write on
the network share.
Maybe, I am missing any Service Pack?
Does it matter if I try this component on Win2K Workstation, not Server?

If I understand correctly the question, I use this account for my COM+
component. I set up this component as Server application and changed
identity from Interactive user to this domain account. I thought, it would
be the trick of impersonation ( I set to Packet/Impersonate) of user - no it
does not work.
My domain account has Admin rights on both boxes - my Win2Pro and another
(where shares are - both: $ and public), that COM+ is accessing.
