Installing a new IIS server on a windows 2016 standard server. &nbsp;I think I have everything configured correctly but must be missing a rights issue somewhere? &nbsp;Looking for some guidance on where to look.<br />

I get a 401 - Unauthorized: Access is denied due to invalid credentials. From the browser. &nbsp;I'm guessing I don't have the IIS_IUSR account right or maybe there is one I'm missing?<br />

Any guidance would be great!<br />

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.
