We have asp.net application setup using Windows Authentication. For the
website, under directory security the only thing checked is "Windows
Authentication". We have the users specified in SQL who have rights to
connect...etc. In the Web.Config, it is specified as Integrated
Security=true. However, when the user goes to the site, an error message is
displayed saying Login attempt failed for (Our Domain Name)\(Our Web
Application Server Name)$ . I have a couple of issues here...

1. Why is it attempting to logon with this account?

2. The domain Machine name doesnt have a $ on it, so why is it showing that
way?

3. Is this some internal naming for a windows account? Is this soem special
internal account?
