I think the best solution to this problem can be found here  IIS IUSRS and IUSR permissions in IIS8 This a good workaround but it does not work when you access the webserver over the Internet

I was having the same issue till just now  just as you mentioned  I tried  Connect As  and the username and password that I wrote down  was my machine s user  IIS is running on this machine   I tested the connection and it works now  Maybe if you weren t using that machine s user  try user with administrator privileges   you should give it a try  it worked for me  it may work in your case as well

ACCESSING LOCAL WEBSITE WITH IIS without Physical Path Authentication   Make sure you have installed URL Rewrite to your IIS Manager       Open the URL Rewrite application then navigate to Inbound Rules Import Rules      To import the rule  click the browse button then locate your  htaccess file then click import button      The text labeled with red are errors that are not accepted by IIS  so you have to remove them by clicking the errors in the converted rules and remove the text from the rewrite rules  Once you have get rid of the errors Click the APPLY button located at the top right corner  Then try to access your site without engaging users into the pool auth      I hope it helps  That s what I did

I had the same problem and couldn t figure it out for almost a day   I added IUSR and NetworkService to the folder permissions  I made sure it was running as NetworkService   I tried impersonation and even running as administrator  DO NOT DO THIS   Then someone recommended that I try running the page from inside the Windows 2008 R2 server and it pointed me to the Handler Mappings  which were all disabled    I got it to work with this    Open the Feature View of your website  Go to Handler Mappings  Find the path for  cshtml Right Click and Click Edit Feature Permissions Select Execute Hit OK    Now try refreshing your website
