 Hi guys,
 I can say "you saved my brain (and my life)".
 I also had the 404 error when trying to access subdir sites dashboards and
 the R:1 to R:2 change in rule #4 solved it !
 I suggest to include "404 wp-login" in the title of this post to help guys
 like me to find this solution.
 Here's my web.config (IIS 7.x and wp 4.7.x):


 {{{
