1. Turn off Anonymous access to your site using IIS Manager
2. Use the LOGON_USER servervariable:
<%
response.write request.servervariables("LOGON_USER")
%>

Silly me, I was thinking the user logged onto the machine, not the user
requesting the web page.

You're just a little out of practice

If you have one person logged onto the console directly, and two people
logged in through terminal services, what do you want to see? You can
probably hook into ADSI or use WScript.Network, but I think it will require
significantly elevated privileges (typically not recommended for a classic
ASP application).

One possible workaround is to use a data store for this, and have a login
script in the startup folder that stores %USERNAME% in a table. It will be
tougher to detect logoffs and inactive/expired sessions, of course.
