If you are deploying to a cloud environment that has multiple web server instances,
you should change session state mode from "InProc" to "Custom". In addition,
change the connection string named "DefaultConnection" to connect to an instance
of SQL Server (including SQL Azure and SQL Compact) instead of to SQL Server Express.

Looked around checked my settings and I found that I dont have Win Auth under my
IIS -> World Wide Web Services -> Security
Neither do i have it here (Even after disabling anonymous auth)
What am i missing to check ? or do for that matter, im still a noob.
Edit:
Best Answer
The Windows edition you used is a low end one, which does not even support Windows authentication.
You will have to upgrade to a high end edition such as Professional.
