Hi,

I am using Windows 8.1 OS. "Windows Authentication" option is not available in my laptop. I navigated to below path.

Windows Features --> Internet Information Services --> World wide web services --> Security --> in this I am not able to see windows authentication. Please let me know.

Thanks in Advance!

You have to enable this by using the Windows Features console.

Which version of OS do you have ? 

You need to have pro or enterprise version for this.

Hi Krishna,

First of all , please run this command as administrator to check whether the feature is available in your machine : dism /online /get-featureinfo /Featurename:IIS-WindowsAuthentication

If it is listed and then we can use this command to enable the feature :dism /online /enable-feature /Featurename:IIS-WindowsAuthentication

Hi Meipo,

Thank you for the information and reply.

I ran command in my laptop. I got below error.

Image version : 6.3.9600.17031

Error: 0x800f080c

Feature name IIS-WindowsAuthentication is unknown.

Is this problem with OS version? Please suggest me how can I get windows authentication in my laptop.

Thanks in Advance!

Hi Krishna,

What is the OS version ?

Just as Arnav Sharma said ,this feature is supported by Pro and Enterprise .If it is a normal edition ,it is not available for this feature .You may need to upgrade to get this feature .

Best regards
