COM+ User must be an Administrator??

dotnet component services:

I tried moving my web application from the development to production server.
Development is running Windows 2000 Advanced Server, production is running
Windows Server 2003. This is what I did to install it (on both Dev and
Prod; the steps were identical):
Moved COM objects to server
Added COM objects to GAC
Used regsvcs to register all objects from the GAC into COM+
(forty-something objects grouped into a half dozen or so applications)
Created a local user account on the server
Set each COM+ application to run with the Identity of that user (not
"Interactive User")
Copied the compiled web pages (including /bin folder) to the server
Configured a new IIS web site, pointed to that folder

On both machines, I can hit the web site and it brings up the login page
fine (which is currently a very simple page that makes no object calls).
When I log in, it makes a call to one of my COM objects (which then calls
others). On Dev (the Win2k box), it runs fine, but on Prod (the Win2k3
box), I get the error included below (with a couple lines about "this was an
unhandled exception" removed to make it a bit more brief). If I make the
COM+ user a member of the machine's Administrators group, it runs fine, but
that kind of defeats my intent of creating a new user. I'm registering the
objects manually (using another, Administrators-group-member user) rather
than using "automatic" or "lazy" registering, so that shouldn't be my issue.
And it works as-is in Win2k. What do I need to do to get Win2k3 to allow
it?

Server Error in '/' Application.
