msxml

I asked this question here, but it turns out the issue is in our server configuration. The .vbs script has been reduced to the following:

Dim http
Set http = CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP")
http.Open "GET" , "http://google.com", False
http.Send

This triggers the same error message every time:

msxml3.dll: A security problem occurred.

The permissions on the .dll are set correctly, and nothing else should be preventing access to that file, so what could be causing the problem?
