I read this article which helped me setup and configure IIS on XP so I could access an excel spreadsheet for processing.

COM configuration article ('http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/venkatesan20030501.php3')

Now I need to set this up on our production 2K3 server and I get the following error using the exact same procedure that worked before :

Uncaught exception 'com_exception' with message 'Failed to create COM object `Excel.Application': The server process could not be started because the configured identity is incorrect. Check the username and password. '

The production server is using PHP 5.0.2 / IIS 6.0 / Windows 2003 Server

I've combed the web for 3 days and haven't found anything that resolves the issue. Anyone have any ideas?
