Good idea, but I was looking to do this using a WMI ?? command in a scripting tool, without re-configuring or duplicating the site at all. &nbsp;My site doesn't have a login page.

Can someone provide a sample script that can be run by a windows scheduled task that will change the authentication method of an IIS 6.0/7.0 web site from digest authentication to windows authentication (and then back again at a later time)?

Script to change an IIS web site authentication method

IIS is Internet Information Services, the web server included with Windows Server operating systems. All current versions are built on a modular architecture; modules can be added or removed individually so that those required for specific functionality are installed. The full installation of IIS includes HTTP, security, content, compression, caching, logging and diagnostics.

Microsoft IIS Web Server

Web applications are systems that run in browsers that perform functions normally associated with other client-based programs. One of the most commonly used web applications is email; instead of downloading individual emails to a local machine, the data is shown through a website. Other examples of web applications are collaborative systems like a wiki or an online game.
