If the remote user does not authenticate to IIS, it is not possible for the
server (and hence ASP page) to figure out the remote user's logon name.
FYI: "allow IIS to control the anonymous account" has nothing to do with
getting the value of LOGON_USER at all.
Basically, what happens is that IIS is configured to either:
1. Allow anyone to automatically logon as the configured anonymous user
account (when Anonymous auth is enabled)
2. Force remote user to provide credentials via a specified authentication
protocol (Basic, Integrated, Digest, etc) to logon to the web server (who
then executes requests as the user)
Clearly, if the non-domain user does not have a local account on the web
server, their user credential will fail and if you have anonymous access
enabled, they will always use anonymous access. This means it is impossible
for an ASP page on the server to figure out the remote user's name -- and
that is by design. They are anonymous, after all.

Hey everyone... This might seem like a stupid question, but I figured I'd take a risk at being flamed. I sort of work in a disconnected environment. Does anyone know of a way to get the name of a connected remote user VIA classic ASP when they aren't actually part of the domain? I know you usually need to disable anonymous access or don't allow IIS to control the anonymous account...but that only works for domain members.
