SYMPTOMS

When you use the CreateObject function to create an instance of the CDONTS.NewMail object, from an Active Server Pages (ASP) page with Anonymous permissions set up, the following error message occurs:
error '8002801d'
Library not registered
Note that if the ASP page is set up to use basic authentication, and you use the administrator account to log on, then the CDONTS.NewMail object is successfully created.

CAUSE

This behavior occurs because the everyone account does not have read permissions for the type library settings for the Collaboration Data Object for Windows NT Server (CDONTS) object in the registry.

This behavior is by design.

RESOLUTION

Warning Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly by using Registry Editor or by using another method. These problems might require that you reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that these problems can be solved. Modify the registry at your own risk.
To resolve this issue, perform the following steps:
  1. Click Start, and then select Run.
  2. Type "Regedt32," and then click OK. Select the following key in the Registry Editor:

    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib\{0E064ADD-9D99-11D0-ABE5-00AA0064D470}

  3. In the Editor menu, click the Security tab, and then select Permissions.
  4. Select Replace Permissions on Existing Subkeys in the dialog box.
  5. Click Add, and then give the everyone account read permissions.
  6. Click OK.
  7. Run your ASP page to create the CDONTS.NewMail object.
