Why do you want the prompt? Lex Li Support Engineer at Microsoft --------------------------- This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

  Re: Anonymous Authentication Problem Reply Contact Hi, c0mpshades45 By default, if you set anonymous authentication, a request will IIS Server use the build in "Network Service" account. If you set both impersonation and  anonymous authentication, the request will use IUSR_<ComputerName> account. If you replace IUSR_<ComputerName> with your created user and with your own password. Try set impersonation to true, and see if the login dialog will show or not.  Regards   Sincerely Microsoft Online Community Support Andrew Zhu - MSFT “Please remember to click “Mark as Answer” on the post that helps you, and to click “Unmark as Answer” if a marked post does not actually answer your question.
