When you ran DCPromo, and created a DC, local accounts are converted to
Domain Accounts (there are no accounts on the DC). The user account that IIS
was using for impersonation before the upgrade no longer exists. You will
need to go into IIS, and tell it the username/password that should now be
used for anonymous access.

Use the IIS Manager, right-click on your website, Properties -> Directory
Security -> Edit Authentication mechanisms. The first one is anonymous
access. Click the browse button, and find the IUSR account in the Domain
(since it no longer exists in the local security accounts database).

: Before installing Active Directory anonymous web users can access my

controller, when web users attempt to go to my websites they are presented
with a net logon dialog box to gain access to the domain controller. Can
this be eliminated?
