TextBox6_AddDataControl1.Text = Request.ServerVariables("LOGON_USER")

Still get the same result, that is, the code returns the anonymous user account of the IIS server and not the username of the logged on user's workstation.

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have workstations with a variable that gives the logged on user id, how can I retrieve this value through a dot.net asp web application, that I am developing ?<br />
<br />
The web server resides in a different domain from the users and there is also no trust between the domains, I have the anonymous IIS account setup for the web app, however using other methods, this is the value that is returned for the logged on user.<br />
<br />
I would also be looking to take the user id and do a lookup on it in AD, so I can use the First name, second name values within AD.<br />
<br />
I'm using VB.net with Visual Web Developer.<br />
<br />
Any ideas ?

Retrieving username

Visual Basic .NET (VB.NET) is an object-oriented programming language implemented on the .NET framework, but also supported on other platforms such as Mono and Silverlight. Microsoft launched VB.NET as the successor to the Visual Basic language. Though it is similar in syntax to  Visual Basic pre-2002, it is not the same technology,

The successor to Active Server Pages, ASP.NET websites utilize the .NET framework to produce dynamic, data and content-driven web applications and services. ASP.NET code can be written using any .NET supported language. As of 2009, ASP.NET can also apply the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern to web applications

IIS is Internet Information Services, the web server included with Windows Server operating systems. All current versions are built on a modular architecture; modules can be added or removed individually so that those required for specific functionality are installed. The full installation of IIS includes HTTP, security, content, compression, caching, logging and diagnostics.
