Hi there, I have done a search on scheduled task questions but not found one that covers what I want to do. I want everyone in the office to have IE pop up with a webpage (timesheet form) at 12:30 and 5pm I dont want to go around to every machine and schedule a task. I have started on one solution but not sure its the way…

Hi there,
I have done a search on scheduled task questions but not found one that covers what I want to do.

I want everyone in the office to have IE pop up with a webpage (timesheet form) at 12:30 and 5pm
I dont want to go around to every machine and schedule a task.

I have started on one solution but not sure its the way to go.
I am able to set a WScript (like vbscript) as a service.
The code runs first and finds out
1 time now
2 when the next check is
3 sleep until then
4 pop up ie
5 loop (do it all again)

Once i finish this script (few bugs left) I need to make a simple install script for everyone to download.

is this the way to go or was there an easier way?
all Input appreciated.
