Description
Ok so I've enabled the module and the only option I get is Site Configuration > Webserver Authentication but I cannot see anywhere to enter logon server details. I previously have used LDAPAuth to allow users to login with thier AD account but I wanted to have it automatically login with the credentials they are signed into the PC with (I'm presuming this is the correct module for that?) but unlike LDAPAuth where you enter the DC and OU information, I cannot work out how to set this up.
The server is running IIS 6.0 and connected to an AD domain.
If someone could please give me a quick rundown on how to set this up I would appreciate it.
Thanks

It sounds like you are on the right track. The piece you are missing is to setup IIS to authenticate users. I haven't used this on IIS, but my understanding is that you need to restrict access to drupal directory (or wwwroot) to authenticated users. When you get IIS configured to authenticate users, then drupal will use that authentication and not require its own.
I hope this helps.

Ahhh....Yes that's it!
And just for other users who face this problem:
I had "anonymous" and "Windows authentication" selected for the website but it wasn't working...The problem lies in having anonymous selected at the same time. You have to only have Windows Authentication selected and it logged in fine :) And a side note for any future users too: Firefox does not work with built in authentication and still requires you to enter a user/pass. IE 7 & 8 I can confirm works perfectly, and I am unsure about IE6 and other browsers.
