I am on vista home premium (32 bit) and I need to enable windows authentication for IIS because the Sitefinity sample site returns a 401. However, in add windows features, there is no sign of windows authentication despite having expanded all the treeviews.
How can I enable windows auth?
Thanks
Windows authentication is a feature that's only available in upper editions such as Business/Ultimate as Tchami pointed out.
This page should answer your question. Also, to install IIS on Vista Home Premium look here
But in short:
Open IIS Manager and navigate to the level you want to manage.
In Features View, double-click Authentication.
On the Authentication page, select Windows Authentication.
In the Actions pane, click Enable to use Windows authentication.

I created a VM server 2019 and I don't want my employees to have remote access to the server. But I want them to be able to access the IIS on the server through a windows 10 machine. I went to the IIS manager in the server and added the users to the IIS manager permission through active directory. On my windows 10, I went to control panel-Programs-Turn Windows Feature on or off and enabled the IIS. So what's happening is that they can find the IIS Manager app under the start menu on windows 10, but when they try to open it there's a pop-up asking if want to allow changes to the device, then it asks for their passwords. And after they enter the password a new pop-up comes up saying I need to be an Administrator to use IIS manager. They are not admin to windows 10 and I don't want for them to be admin. Any idea how I can fix this?
Remote administration 1.2 no longer available for download.
Make sure the WinRM IIS Extension is checked and installed on Win Server 2019 (Under "Feature" selection. (Add Roles and Features Wizard)
This is the missing piece that took me an hour to figure out in the latest version.
It sounds like you need to delegate IIS administration to non-admin user.
Then you need to install IIS manager for remote administration 1.2 as lex said. Once you install it, IIS will no longer as for administrator prevelige.
The next you need to do is install IIS management and create IIS manager user. Then you could add your win10's IP to management service IP restirction, so only your win 10 have permission to connect the server.
PS:Please remember to allow 8172 in windows firewall.

I'm running IIS 7.0 on a Windows 2008 R1 Server and want to setup IIS Manager Users. Due to some fact, every last try to access the site is rejected (HTTP Unauthorized).
The following additional IIS components are installed:
Security\Basic Authentification
Security\URL Authorisation
Management Tools\IIS Management Console
Management Tools\Management Service
Then I configured the Management Service to use Windows or IIS-Manager-User Credentials.
I also added some IIS-Manager-Users and activated them on my Website.
On the Authentification Settings Pane, I disabled anonymous access and enabled basic authentification.
As a result, when browsing the website, a password is now required. The thing is, I can access the page with Windows Credentials, but not with the IIS Manager User Credentials. In this case the result is always HTTP 401 - Unauthorized.
What am I missing?
IIS Manager Users are meant for administration of IIS (aka management of the sites/apps) and not for access the server at runtime (normal browsing of content).
Having said that, you can make that work if your scenario is to use the same users for potentially administration (like using WMSVC) and runtime and I wrote a blog about it on 2008 on how to set it up:

Using Windows 7 Home Premium with IIS 7.5 Express installed I cannot find the 'IIS Manage Users' function on the localhost / webserver level.
I have been in Control Panel --> Programs and Features --> Turn Windows Features On/Off --> and pretty much enabled/installed everything for IIS and it's security sub folder but no such functionality can be found within IIS after restarting it.
My final goal is to create an IIS Manager User Account (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc732621(v=ws.10).aspx).
How to enable the 'IIS Manage Users' function within IIS 7.5 Express?
edit: I'm suspecting this is due to my Win7 version? Upgrading to Ultimate might do the trick: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc753473.aspx
2nd edit: Upgrading to Win7 Ultimate DID NOT add this functionality.
You can try this:
On the control Pane click on: "Uninstall a Program" => "Turn Windows features on or off".
Under Server Roles find "Web Server (IIS) => "Management Tools" "Management Service" and then click on install.
Then go to IIS Management and you will see on your machine or the sites some new options under "Management".
After reinstalling IIS 7.5 windows authentication doesn't work for specifies user groups. All that groups are visible in IIS. Windows authentication is enabled, Anonymous authentication is Enabled.
Permisstion of those was removed automatically.
Set all permisstions to those grups all work fine.
For Sharepoint Central Admin to work I need to enable Basic Authentication in IIS 6.0
http://community.bamboosolutions.com/forums/p/2287/2881.aspx
For some reason I am not able to find it in IIS 6.0 on my machine.
I See only Anonymous authentication, ASP.net Impersonation, Forms Authentication.
Any thoughts?
You may not have installed all the authentication components for IIS.
Go to add remove programs -> Add remove windows features
there under IIS i will recommend you to check all the options and install a fully blown iis server, however if you can understand what each element means, you can check the components which will add all the authentication features for iis.
You need to be admin on your machine to change this setting. If you are, follow these instructions and you should be fine.
