Solution 1

You won't be able to get this information without an active control. Browsers operate within a sandbox for security and are limited in what information can be obtained directly from a client machine

Hi frincy,

Have you tried using Request.Params["LOGON_USER"] ? It contains both domain name and logged in user name.

Hope it helps.

That won't work. It will probably just work when you run it from your IDE. Deploy the application on IIS and then check.
See Mark's answer for the reason.

Since he told : "i have written a code in asp.net using vb in which i getting the all users from the active directory ", It doesn't seem that he has a plan to deploy it to an outside web server so lets see what he will tell us about it.

VB

response.write(Server.MachineName)

Wrong, that will return machine name of the "server" and not a client.
