    Windows Server 2003 - basic installation, IIS installed
    ASP.NET intranet site utilizing Windows (NT) Authentication

    Problem: On some page visits some users are prompted for credentials (for
    web server) unneccessarily
    Click cancel to the dialog and the web page renders just fine, everything
    works, just interupted by the dialog

    We have not been able to identify what is common about the pages the error
    occurs on or anything common
    about the users.

    1st we thought it was a 3rd party calendar control (eWorldUI), but we do not
    think that now
    2nd we thought it was a custom .dll that needed database access...but that
    doesn't seem to be it either
    Also the calendar control and custom .dll are not present on all of the
    pages the error occurs

    I have used performance monitor to verify that no anonymous requests are
    occuring.

    Does anyone know of a way to audit the NT authentication process so we could
    identify why the dialog is displayed...
    hopefully identify what resource the users do not have access to?
