I get the same issue as here:
http://forums.webwiz.net/windows-authentication-problem_topic24221.html?KW=active+directory

Except refreshing wont log the user in. They still just show up as "guest". The first time they log in their account is created correctly, but they can never actually show up as logged in.

I've disabled anonymous logins and enabled windows authentication. Setup the function file. Happens in IE or Firefox.

Any ideas?

The post you are referring to is 3 years old and the issue that it was referring to was fixed along time ago as the AD integration is very stable and is widely used.

There are some things you should check.

1. Make sure that the application pool your forum is running in is set to use a single worker process

2. Make sure your forum is correctly settings cookies. You can try editing the includes/setup_options_inc.asp file in notepad and change the cookie path to the website root.
