asp_web_howto thread: Retrieving Workstation/Username Information

Hi,
I'm still new to the asp scene, although I have a minor problem, I am
creating a fault reporting page for my companies intranet, but I'm stuck
trying to maintain user information and storing it on a page for when it
gets submitted. For example I want to grab user information such as
username (logged onto machine) and machine name to be displayed in text
boxes. I've managed to ask a few asp programmers out there, but all were
uncertain of this "feature" if it exists. Please reply if you could help
out.
Thanks.

Try looking up one of the servervariables available.

Had the same problem. Try these....
<% Request.ServerVariables("AUTH_USER") %> for example...
AUTH_PASSWORD - The value entered in the client's authentication dialog.
This variable is available only if Basic authentication is used.
AUTH_TYPE - The authentication method that the server uses to validate
users when they attempt to access a protected script.
AUTH_USER - Raw authenticated user name.
HTTP_USER_AGENT - Returns a string describing the browser that sent the
request.
HTTP_COOKIE - Returns the cookie string that was included with the
request.
HTTP_REFERER - Returns a string containing the URL of the page that
referred the request to the current page, but does not include redirect
requests.
LOCAL_ADDR - Returns the Server Address on which the request came in.
LOGON_USER - The Windows account that the user is logged into.
QUERY_STRING - Query information stored in the string following the
question mark (?) in the HTTP request.
REMOTE_ADDR - The IP address of the remote host making the request.
REMOTE_HOST - The name of the host making the request. If the server does
not have this information, it will set REMOTE_ADDR and leave this empty.
REMOTE_USER - Unmapped user-name string sent in by the user.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Craig.

and simply leave the username only.
Once again,

Could you not show only the characters after the "\" ?
If so, then you need to use the Instr and Mid commands.
eg..
strUsername = Mid(Request.ServerVariables("AUTH_USER"),
Instr(Request.ServerVariables("AUTH_USER"),"\",1,1))
