Launch IE once per user at Login

[br1ms70n3d]

Hey Peeps

I am a total newbie when it comes to scripting/programming, and was hoping you can help me out.

I need to launch IE for all users once. I want users to set-up their password recovery questions when they login the first time. I looked at runonce key in the registry, but when a user logged into a different workstation the script ran again and the user was presented with their password recovery page even if they had it setup.

Thanks for the info,

Brimmy

A thought:
You'll need some sort of flag to toggle to indicate whether or not a user has completed the recovery questions. One option is to use Active Directory to create a custom attribute.

Or creating a log file in there %HOMEPATH% and have an IF THEN statement in the script.

Assuming it's set, that would work also. Or just a file.

set objShell = CreateObject("Wscript.shell")
set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

strHomePath = objShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%UserProfile%")
strFileName = "hasAnsweredSecurityQuestions.aaa"
strFile = strHomePath & "\" & strFileName

if not (objFSO.FileExists(strFile))
   'launch security questions website
   objFSO.CreateFile(strFile)
end if

something like that.
