Thanks Joe, this worked. I have another question.

Initially, i had a login page on my app and used
System.DirectoryServices.dll to query AD to authenticate a user / pass.

However, it appears that .NET handles this all for me if i disable anonymous
access and use the integerated windows auth. Is this true?

My app poped up a login screen for user / pass / domain.
