Browser pops up window asking for username/password with ASP.NET app
asp.net, iis
Solution
If you use a domain account for the Application Pool you have to run a series of scripts on the domain controller. So, apparently it's not recommended to use a domain account, rather a local server account. Microsoft has this issue documented on a case:

Problem
This application is using windows integrated authentication in IIS. No anonymous login. It's also using an application pool defined to log on with a domain user. If a try to browse any page, it pops up the username and password dialog box and even though I entered a valid user (including the domain administrator) it doesn't log on into the app. I keep getting the username/password dialog. If I logon locally (in the IIS box), it works OK. Also, if I change the application pool to use Network Services, it works OK. The domain user is already a member of the local IIS_WPG group in the IIS box. Am I missing something here?
