Answer 1

Where are you running this script from. IE? if so check the site zone security settings. Depending on your environment it may be accessible from IE or through modification of Group Policy.

1. Go to Tools > Internet options > Security > Custom Level
2. Under the ActiveX controls and plug-ins, select Enable for Initializing and Script ActiveX controls not marked as safe
