grabbing current username via ADSI?

[Tom Petersen]

My users logon to the Patriot domain, my intranet is on sdsddata01 server.
I have a form that people have to click on a dropdown list to pick their
name from the list when submitting a form. Is there any way to grab their
username via ADSI so I can query it against a database that will get
submitted against a form. I have seen a few arcticles regarding this but I
couldn't make sense of them. They are already authenticating when they
login, so I don't want them to have to do it again once they hit the
intranet. Is this possible using ADSI? Will I have to make some permission
changes in IIS as well?

TIA!
Tom

In ASP, Request.ServerVariables("LOGON_USER") captures the username as long
as you have denied anonymous access.

Use
Function PullUserFullname(strUser)
Dim User
Set User = GetObject("WinNT://<your domain>/" & strUser & ",user")
PullUserFullname = User.Fullname
End Function

Yes, but easier using just ASP and Request.ServerVariables.

You have to turn off Anonymous access, otherwise the user won't
authenticate using Windows credentials for you to retrieve.
