Please clarify what you mean by "moving our websites to Windows 2003 Web
Edition" -- did you upgrade (had another OS, ran upgrade) or migrate (clean
install this machine and ran IIS Migration Wizard to move sites onto this
machine).

It looks like you either:
1. did not configure your websites for authentication (but you had anonymous
access enabled)
2. ACLs (specifically, SIDs) on the files changed during the move. Did you
move in/out of a domain?

Please also give the web log entry for each failed request (including HTTP
substatus and Win32 error code) --
%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\LogFiles\W3SVC#\*.log

You said that it works with the IUSR account, so it sounds like everything
is still working -- you are just missing the right ACLs on the files or
enable client Authentication to make it work.

FYI: Trying with [domain]admin accounts really is not useful because
administrators can be access denied like any other user -- they are special
in that administrators can *change* ACLs such that they are no longer denied
access -- users cannot do this.

After moving our websites to Windows 2003 Web Edition, now the web
developers are having problems getting to the websites though a visual
interdev (version 6) project. It keeps asking for a use name & password, but
I've tried their accounts, computer admin account, domain admin accounts, an
account I've set up specifically for this & none of them work! The only way
we can get in is to enable anonymous access through the front page
extensions & give it authoring rights, which doesn't appear to be the way to
go. I've searched the net with several different querys & can't seem to find
anyone with the same situation, same software & the same problems!
Help!
