 The code that WordPress gives me for the web.config is incorrect. I
 downloaded the new 3.6 and this issue happened. I found the issue and
 solved it but wanted to let you know of this error as not many people run
 multisites on IIS7. So the rewrite code that was the issues is the
 following and was Rule 2

 {{{
 <rule name="WordPress Rule 2" stopProcessing="true">
   <match url="^wp-admin$" ignoreCase="false" />
   <action type="Redirect" url="wp-admin/" redirectType="Permanent" />
 </rule>
 }}}

 what i can tell this is trying to do is if a user types in just
 "domain.com/wp-admin" that it would redirect them to "domain.com/wp-
 admin/" but the desired results did not happen. the above code would
 redirect you to "domain.com/domain.com/wp-admin/" which obviously would
 cause issues after the user logs in as the redirect_to would point to
 http://domain.com./domain.com/wp-admin/ which would cause an endless loop.
 To fix this problem you need to add a / to the beginning of the rewrite
 like so

 {{{
 <rule name="WordPress Rule 2" stopProcessing="true">
     <match url="^wp-admin$" ignoreCase="false" />
     <action type="Redirect" url="/wp-admin/" redirectType="Permanent" />
 </rule>
 }}}


 that extra / before the wp-admin/ forces it to the root of the site.. now
 i am not sure what this would do to a site in a sub directory but im not
 in a sub directory so not an issue for me.
