There's anyway to install/enable IIS Windows Authentication when it's missing in "Turn Windows Features On or Off" menu?

I'm running an Win8 machine in a Local Workgroup.

Answer 1

I guess you need Pro or Enterprise edition

Answer 2

I ran into the same problem, so far tried these, you should also take a look at these settings

• check the module if you have WindowsAuthentication managed module
• enable appcmd set config /section:windowsAuthentication /enabled:true
• enable it in the app's web.config

`

<security>
  <authentication>
    <windowsAuthentication enabled="true"></windowsAuthentication>
  </authentication>
</security>

I've tried these on my Windows 8 desktop which is not part of the domain, but it doesn't work, the response header is just 401 without any www auth headers. I wonder what will happen in your case when the machine is part of the domain.
