With IE & Integrated Authentication, 99% of the time with this issue, the website is not in the Local Intranet zone. IE6 & 7 by default enables Integrated Authentication. However, only the Local Intranet zone is configured to automatically logon.
As a previous poster said, if the URL is just http://server then IE will default to Local Intranet. But if you use http://server.fqdn.com IE will use the Internet zone. If your using a FQDN, put the server name, or just *.fqdn.com in the Local Intranet Sites for Integrated Authentication to work.

It is currently working ok except I would like it to use windows authentication and not prompt the domain users for their credentials. If windows authentication is selected why is it still prompting for domain user credentials? What am I missing? Before I go seeking some IIS forums I thought I bounce it off the people I trust first. "If the authentication exchange initially fails to identify the user, the browser will prompt the user for a Windows user account user name and password."
