Intranet set-up

[rwei]

I'm new to my employer and know little about intranet set-up.

The problem is - a few users have problem accessing the intranet web site. They're prompted with NT login dialog box for user login ID and password, when entered, the page returns with "Unauthorized - Logon failed" message. And all our web applications use NT authentication.

My question is how and where I can start to look for the problem? Why is most can access the intranet, and few cannot?

Is this to do with IIS set-up or something to do with access rights to the server machine itself, which is Windows NT 2000?

In file directory
make sure you have IWAM, ISUR accounts set up.....then on then go to the default web site on the IIS and
then click on your folder ....where your files are virtual directory and then properiteis directory security and make sure anonyomous is set...

that should be it

Thanks for the reply.

I've just found the answer - the IE browser's setting is incorrect.

Thanks again.

Hi Rwei

What was this browser setting? I'm also experiencing the same issue at work for some users. Is this a setting on the Browser itself or on IIS?

Select “Tools” from the menu, select “Internet Options”;
Select “Security” tab, then click “Local Intranet”, then click “Custom Level” close to the bottom of the screen;
Then scroll down toward the end of the screen;
Find User Authentication / Logon, and make sure either “Automatic logon only in Intranet Zone” or “Automatic logon with current username and password” is checked.
Press “OK”

Also, select “Advanced” tab, after screen changes, scroll all the way down to see “Security” group, make sure “Enable integrated Windows Authentication” is checked.

HTH!
