I understand that this is probably not the best forum to ask this in but there were no other logical choices to choose from.
Have a strange situation. We have an MVC application setup on Windows 2008 Server IIS 7 configured for Windows Authentication. When we restart the computer there is about a two hour delay before the users are recognized/authenticated to the site. The server is part of an AD domain and after the 2 hour delay all works as expected. Until the delay is finished the users are presented with browser login prompt no matter if they are in office and logged into their network or outside the network. The login prompt just keeps popping up even after they enter their credentials over and over and over. FailedRequestLog shows no errors but shows status code of 401.1.
We think it has something to do with our site configuration or code because I can create a folder and drop a basic default.aspx page and basic web.config file in that folder then point the IIS entry to it and it serves it up as expect right away. When we re-point the IIS entry back to the originial folder the site then recognizes the users credentials.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Here is our web.config
