ASP shell command permission problem on Windows 2003

When trying to run a shell command from an ASP script under IIS6 I am
getting a permission denied error. This worked under IIS5. The command
calls nslookup, which writes its output to a text file:

Set oShell = Server.CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
oShell.Run "%ComSpec% /c nslookup " & sHost & "> c:\output.txt", 0,
True

What configuration change is required to allow the IIS anonymous user
account to execute this command on Windows 2003 Server?

Thanks in advance.
