Getting the Users Email Address 1

[TStriker]

Hi all,

This is a rookie question for sure but how do I get the email address of the user that is visiting the page without asking them?

This is for an intranet application not a public website. All users are on the same domain and are using IE6. We are running Active Directory. This works with WSH on the local workstation but not on a web page:

dim objAdSysInfo, objUser

Set objAdSysInfo = CreateObject("ADSystemInfo")
Set objUser = GetObject("LDAP://" & objADSysInfo.UserName)

Wscript.Echo "SMTP Address: " & objUser.mail

Any ideas?

You could turn off anonymous access in IIS. This will cause the web server to send "401 Access Denied" to the browser and then IE will automatically re-send the HTTP Request but this time it will include the domain name and username of the current windows user.

You can then view the credentials by looking at the Request.ServerVariables collection.

Thanks Sheco! I was able to use a different approach using your tip.

Thanks again!

TStriker, how does your new approach work?
We use a library here to attach to the exchange server and do a lookup but I am always looking for a better way.
