IIS Application Directories
Labs and samples that require you to set up an IIS application directory (also called a virtual directory) will provide you with a .vbs script to run, usually in the root of the solution. In some cases, however, you will create a new web site in IIS using Visual Studio. Depending on your default settings in IIS, it is possible that Windows Integrated Authentication may not be enabled for the application directory. This section explains how to accomplish this for IIS 5.1/6.0 and IIS 7.0.
