Hello. I always use a program called URLRewrite in IIS to force https. It works perfectly every time. You can get this program from the Web Platform Installer in IIS. I found a really great YouTube video with perfect instructions on how to download and set it up. My forum account will not let me post the video here, but if you want the link to the video, email me directly at my address in my signature. Thanks!
