open webpage once

[itgeek]

Hi I want to be able to open a webpage only once, when a user log in for the first time. Is this possible? I want to be able to display an ICT Support Help and support page for new members of staff?

 

 

Thanks

I don't think this would be easily achievable. How would you keep track of the logins to determine what is the 1st logon?

 

Put together a welcome email that is sent to them instead with a link?

Logon script which writes a small hidden temp file to the users home drive when it has completed?

 

If this file is then found again the script exits.

 

@echo off

if exist "N:\firstlogon.tmp" (
exit
) else (
start iexplore [url]www.website.com[/url]
echo %username% >> "N:\FirstLogon.tmp"
exit
)

 

I haven't tested the above but if you save it to a .bat file and run it twice (assuming you have N drive mapped!!) it should first open IE and then do nothing the next time it is run.

 

 

Hope that helps

Could you put a short cut in the startup folder?

It works!!
