In IIS 6, it was pretty straight forward - go to security tab in IIS and edit and enable. But here I was not able to see that option for the virtual directory. All I could see were the options anonymous access, forms authentication and asp.net impersonation.
Long story short, you have to enable that as a feature on a 2008 server.
To do that
- open control panel and click on "add or remove windows feature"
- Expand the node - roles->Web server (IIS)
- right click on web server node and select "Add role services"
- in the new window that opens up, on the right side, under "role services", select checkbox "security->windows authentication
- Under "management tools", option, select checkbox "IIS 6 management compatibility"
- Click on Next and then Install
- restart server
- go back to IIS and the virtual directory and check the "IIS authentications" available and you should see "windows authentication" as the new option
