Working with my project in debug I have no issues. However running it in IIS I am getting this error:

System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Login failed for user 'domain\name-PC$'.

The number one solution I can find through Google is to change the application pool advanced Identity settings which did not work.

I am using IIS 7.5 and I am connecting to SQLServer 2012 my connection string is below.

Connection String

<add name="_DataConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=01DEV\SQLDEV01;Initial Catalog=_Data;Integrated Security=True;MultipleActiveResultSets=True;Application Name=EntityFramework"
  providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />

Just set Integrated Security=False and it will work ,according to a comment difference between True and False is:

True ignores User ID and Password if provided and uses those of the running process, SSPI(Security Support Provider Interface ) it will use them if provided which is why MS prefers this. They are equivalent in that they use the same security mechanism to authenticate but that is it.
