| Secure authentication protocols like Integrated does not support
DefaultLogonDomain. Why? Because the protocol never passes username/
password to IIS, meaning IIS cannot choose the DefaultLogonDomain to
logon the username.
Editing the metabase, like the Registry, is not meant for most users.
ONe will need at least the following info:
- built-in tools like ADSUTIL.VBS ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/
default.asp?url=/library/en-us/iissdk/html/5e7f8cde-4a01-42bd-acaf-
f8f7d091ef7c.asp )
- tools like MBExplorer which makes editing the metabase easy ( http://

b628-ade629c89499&DisplayLang=en )
- documentation on MSDN detailing what every property means ( http://

bb9c0d25-d003-4ddd-8adb-8662de0a24ee.asp )
I believe making users specify username@domain.com is pretty
reasonable, especially if it also corresponds to their email address.
I believe that getting used to specifying one's domain is critical --
how else do you distinguish between all the Davids in the world if
they all got used to logging in with their name on all the systems in
the world? We live in a connected, global society.
