The only thing I think you could do is run a script at login that updates some type of database which publishes to a webpage. Never done it but I am sure it is possible.
Or you could do this:
Schedule a Program like NBTscan to run on your network every minute or so. Have the output of that published to a webpage or a share on the network where users can view the file.

The ID they use to log in is stored in the registry. Can you pull that and get the person's name from Active Directory (or something like that).
Web Dev isn't my forte, but I'm tryin' here.

Unless people log in with their actual name, you'll have to do some sort of referencing between the login info used on the local computer and another system that translates that to a name.

Simply put, for your intranet you will need to have "Integrated Windows Authentication" selected only on the "Directory Security" tab. Your users will login to the network and be authenticated for Intranet access (those without authenticating will have a popup box for credentials on their first visit to the Intranet). Next put this in you code where you want it.
Welcome, <%Response.Write (Request.ServerVariables("auth_user"))%>
That's it. Now if you want to get more technical with it you can add other fields to manipulate it.
You can make it bold:
Welcome, <b><%Response.Write (Request.ServerVariables("auth_user"))%></b>
Strip out the domain name if applicable (DOMAIN\username). The "8" below would be counted from the left to remove 7 letters of the domain name plus 1 for the \
Welcome, <b><%Response.Write Mid(Request.ServerVariables("auth_user"),8))%></b>
Convert the case
Welcome, <b><%Response.Write ucase(Mid(Request.ServerVariables("auth_user"),8))%></b>
Whatever you want, just mod it to your liking. You asked for "can and how". How about "yes and like this". I hope this helps.

First, save this as an asp file (not mandatory, but mine is, I think html should work also if everything else is configured properly). Second, make sure you are testing it from an iis server. Third an most important, make sure that iis is configured properly or it won't work at all! (see above).
I set this up on my intranet here at work a while ago and it's run beautifully ever since. You are missing something along the way, let me know how you make out.
