Hi Michael,

Does the code below get what you need?

Private Sub Page_Load _
(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _
Handles MyBase.Load
Dim uname As String
Dim wi As System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity = _
System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent
uname = Mid(wi.Name, InStr(wi.Name, "\") + 1)
Lbl1.Text = "Welcome " & uname & ". Some other text"
End Sub

What happens when you put this in your web.config file?

<identity impersonate="true"/>
<authentication mode="Windows" />
