Display username and hostname on Intranet

[Bob Lin]

I would like to display the hostname (or computername) and username (or
logonID) on our Intranet support page. I saved the following vbs code as asp
file, but it doesn't display the username. No error also. Do I miss some
thing?

dim objNetwork
Set objNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network")
strUserDomain = objNetwork.UserDomain
Wscript.Echo "User " & objNetwork.UserName

Were the solutions in the .vbscript not working for you?

Hi Ray,

Thank you for all help. I added servervariables like remote_host, auth_user.
the remote_host display ip and auth_user display nothing even we have
internal DNS and IIS logging is enabled. I also read an article from MS, I
need to work on the intranet and it may increase the traffic. I haven't try
it.

For AUTH_USER, you have to turn off anonymous access for your site,
directory, or page that you want the AUTH_USER from. See here.

Well, you missed that this isn't VBScript...

This is WSH, and won't work in a web page as you intend. There are a
few ways around this. If you're using Windows authentication in your
intranet site (not just anonymous access) you can use the server
variables. Something like:

User = Request.ServerVariables("Logon_User")
Response.Write User

Alternatively, you can capture WshNetwork properties such as
UserDomain and UserName in a login script, then save them to a text
file, database or whatever. We do a bit of both, capturing
information in a logon script to a database and using it from intranet
pages as needed.
