  User Authentication - Could IIS 7.0 resolve usernames from AD without being member of this AD Reply Contact Hey Guys, we have a situation at a customer and do not know any further. 1) When using windows authentication on a single machine, the username are resolved against the local machine user database. 2) When using windows authentication on a single machine which is member of a domain, the usernames are resolved against the local machine user database AND the active directory  Right?  Question: Is it possible to resolve usernames against an active directory without joining the machine to the domain? Thanks for answers Regards Florian

  Re: User Authentication - Could IIS 7.0 resolve usernames from AD without being member of this AD Reply Contact Hey anilr, thanks for your answer. Could you provide me some links or hints why? As far as i know iis uses the windowsAuthenticationProvider for solving usernames against local store and / or AD user store... What is changed in Windows that windowsAuthenticationProvider could access the ad user database when the machine is added to the domain? Thanks again Florian
