I need to write a LOGOFF script in group policy that will open up Internet Explorer to a webpage, so the user has an opportunity to enter their ID before they leave for the day (it's for payroll- keeping track of hours)

I've tried to execute iexplore with a batch file, it looks like it tries, but it's not working.. any ideas?

thanks,
Jack

What do you mean "it tries, but fails?" What happens? Is there an error message or dialog box?

What does the script contain? Is it this:

@echo off
start http://myurl.com

Does everyone logoff at the same time? Or within a few minutes of each other?

If they do, you can write a script and schedule it with AT to run a few minutes before people logoff.

I don't know for sure, but I don't think that logoff scripts can be interactive. Meaning, that when it launches, the user logs off the network and script does it's job, with no user interactione. Logoff scripts are usually used for deleting temp files and the like.

I don't know how to do it, but you might be able to log when a user logs off, and record it in a database and then feed the corresponding user's logoff time to your spreadsheet or database.

Anyone else have any ideas on this? (maybe Hero knows)
