As our users log into our LAN their 'userid' becomes part of the machine 
environment (%username%)and is available to various applications (drive 
mapping scripts, Outlook, etc.).  Is there a way that information can be 
read by our web/application servers so that I don't have to require yet 
another login to the web site?

I would ultimately like to compare the username/currentdate to a table 
containing username/lastlogin so that I can display a page that shows all 
of the changes to the website since the users last login.

Thanks 

All mine log in with their NT user name and password and this works for me:
user = Request.ServerVariables("LOGON_USER")

Thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately, it's not working on our system.  
Are you aware of server or workstation settings that would inhibit this?

Thanks

You can either disable anonymous access in IIS config, or you can include 
script like this at the top of any pages which need the user id:

If Len(Trim(Request.ServerVariables ("LOGON_USER"))) = 0 Then
	Response.Status = "401 Unauthorized"
	Response.AddHeader "WWW-Authenticate", "NTLM"
	Response.End
End If
