Get windows domain name

[VelvetMirror]

How can I get the windows domain name from the browser?Is it possible?I've been looking at the User Agent and the HTTP headers, but it's not clear to me how to do this. Any example out there I can check?

I need to get the Windows domain name from Internet Explorer using classic asp (I could try it in another way if with classic asp it's not possible).I need to do this in order to insert the domain name into a database row.So again, in summary, I need to retrieve the Windows computer domain name from the Internet Explorer that is accessing to a particular webpage.It seems the link you provided talks about retrieving information from an URL, but I don't want to do that. I hope I explained myself better this time, thanks anyway.

In that case, it's not possible for javascript to access the local file system, and I don't think the browser maintains any of that information, except for the OS type the browser is running on.

In case anyone happens to get the same problem, here is the solution I've implemented. You have to activate Integrated Windows Authentication in IIS: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_Wi..._Authentication.You can read here how to do it: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechn...e.mspx?mfr=trueAfter that you can use:

In Classic ASP Request.ServerVariables ("AUTH_USER") or Request.ServerVariables ("LOGON_USER")
