Classic ASP for WCF using Service Moniker
I am trying to use WCF Logging Service from classic ASP without deploying Com wrapper. I found a way to do it here . Here is a simplified version of the vb script.
Dim addr
addr = "service:mexAddress=""net.pipe://localhost/Services/Logging/LoggingManager/Mex""," _
& "address=""net.pipe://localhost/Services/Logging/LoggingManager/classic/""," _
& "contract=""ILoggingManagerClassic"", contractNamespace=""http://Services.Logging.Classic/""," _
& "binding=""NetNamedPipeBinding_ILoggingManagerClassic"", bindingNamespace=""http://Services.Logging.Classic/"""
set objErrorLogger = GetObject(addr)
Dim strError : strError = objErrorLogger.LogError("blahblah")
This one works on Server 2008 , but fails on Server 2008 with this error .
Failed to do mex retrieval:Metadata contains a reference that cannot be resolved: net.pipe://localhost/Services/Logging/LoggingManager/Mex..
Only when run through ASP it fails , a sample VBS file on the same machine using the same code works fine.
I think it might have to do with permission, but don't know where to start. Does anyone have any idea?
EDIT - Let me clarify that the WCF host is a Windows service running as a NETWORK SERVICE.
If it is related to a server error, the moderator can move it. I also have an account.

You are using WCF web-based.
Windows 2003 does not support network channels.
Update:
Clean Pipe WCF uses Windows Activation Serices (WAS) which is included in Windows 2008

Clean pipes work on Windows 2003 but not on WCF networks
EDIT
Your comments are correct that when running WCF as a Windows service and not in IIS, it should work on winoline 2003.
Having said that, it should be associated with a call coming from an ASP website. One place to start is if there are any errors in your event log.
