SYMPTOMS
When you use Microsoft Connected Services Framework (CSF) 3.0 together with Microsoft TV IPTV Edition, the IPTV Poller service cannot use Integrated Windows authentication in Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS). The IPTV Poller service can communicate with IPTV back-end systems only when the anonymous access option is enabled in IIS. However, enabling the anonymous access option may cause a security risk.
