This is not possible with standard JavaScript.

Is this for an intranet/select user base? If so, you could use ActiveX which would only work in IE.

Javascript alone can not give you such a information (all code runs only in browsers's scope). You must be using some kind of local objects that got access to such a information like ActiveX (depends on security settings).

But dont expect that you will be able to get such a data from many users. But if you want it for testing purposes, you can set browser (install ActiveX) that javascript will be able to get that info.
