    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.

    <edit> added scripts to title </edit>
