Is it possible to script a logon so that the user is taken directly to a
specific web page and can only use IE during there session?
Perhaps -- but likely not through a Logon script.
The standard way to do this is to use a "Shell program" change in
the WinLogon key of the Registry -- you run the browser instead of
the usual Windows Explorer.
You might want to search for "Kiosk" machine setup at Microsoft
by searching Google for:
[ kiosk shell program startup | logon site:microsoft.com 2000 | 2003 ]
You might wish to use this phrase (with quotes) too:
"browser * Kiosk mode"
[ "browser * Kiosk mode" site:microsoft.com 2000 | 2003 ]
Similarly is it possible to initiate a logoff script when the browser is
closed?
Only if that amounts to a logoff so the likely answer is no, but you could
arrive at this or what you likely wish to accomplish, but one of several
means such as....
1) Autorestarting the shell program (the browser in this case)
2) Running a Service program that monitors for the browsers and
logs of the user if the browser stops for N-seconds/minutes.
Any examples are appreciated.
Try the above and look into the Internet Explorer Resource Kit (IEAK)
-- you might also ask the question on an IEAK newsgroup....
