To disable Integrated Windows authentication in IIS:

1. Open a CMD.EXE window.

2. Switch to the C:InetpubAdminscripts folder, or the equivalent:

CD /D C:InetpubAdminscripts

3. Type the following command and press Enter to set Integrated Windows authentication to False at the root of w3svc:

cscript adsutil.vbs set w3svc/authntlm false

4. Type the following command and press Enter to verify that the setting has been modified:

cscript adsutil.vbs get w3svc/authntlm

5. Type the following command and press Enter to determine if any additional metabase nodes have Integrated Windows authentication enabled:

cscript adsutil.vbs find w3svc/authntlm

NOTE: If additional nodes exist, repeat steps 3 through 5 for each node.
