One attempt I made was to use an ActiveX control on a 'splash' page. The control had a call to a Windows API function to get the user's NT username. The username was then submitted to a validation page. The only problem with this was that the control required the user's browser security settings to be set to medium-low to stop warning alerts from appearing. I'd prefer an alternative approach.
