You have to force some sort of login against the domain to guarntee this infomration (I suggest Integrated Windows Authentication (assuming IIS... other webservers probably have IWA as well)) . Given IE and if the domain name either does not contain dots (as in myserver.com) or if it's added to the local intranet zone, the authenitcation credentials will be automatically passed to the webserver. You can then grab the infomration however you need to do it - perhaps from the CGI vars, but maybe there are other ways to do it as as well...
