Is anyone aware of any reason why the following won't work on a
Windows Server 2003 r2 64 bit Edition? I am simply calling the following 
snippet,
and trying to execute it in a browser window there, just as I do any
other version of Windows:

if (window.ActiveXObject && !window.XMLHttpRequest) {
  window.XMLHttpRequest = function() {
    var msxmls = new Array(
      'Msxml2.XMLHTTP.5.0',
      'Msxml2.XMLHTTP.4.0',
      'Msxml2.XMLHTTP.3.0',
      'Msxml2.XMLHTTP',
      'Microsoft.XMLHTTP');
    for (var i = 0; i < msxmls.length; i++) {
      try {
        return new ActiveXObject(msxmls[i]);
      } catch (e) {
      }
    }
    return null;
  };

Which browser is that on Windows Server 2003, is that IE 6? IE 6 usually 
comes with MSXML 3 so you should be able to instantiate 
Msxml2.XMLHTTP.3.0. I have however never worked on 64 bit systems.
MSDN claims that the new MSXML 6 version has a 64 bit redistributable
<http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=993c0bcf-3bcf-4009-be21-27e85e1857b1&displaylang=en>
so you might want to install MSXML 6 and check whether adding
   Msxm2.XMLHTTP.6.0
to the loop improves things.

MS have upped the default security settings for Server 2003, this
probably includes disabling ActiveX support.
