User.Identity.Name on Windows 2003

[Robert E. Flaherty]

I developed an ASP.NET app running on an XP Pro where I retrieve the user's
network id from User.Identity.Name. The authenticationMode="Windows" in the
Web.Config and in the virtual directory, the anonymous acces is checked off
and Integration Windows Authentication is checked on and it works.

When I move the app to a Windows 2003 server and repeat these setting, I do
not get a value for User.Identity.Name. Is there an addition setting or
settings on a Windowns 2003?

Did you disable Anonymous access for the web app on the Windows 2003 server?

Did you give the Anonymous user access in the <authorization> section of the Web.config file?
