You can use this script for log on and for log of.
As I have said just decide how what you want then I can help you to do the rest.

Bellow attached script is in txt extension you need to change it to VBS extension than when you run it a text file will be created on your C drive with all info in it the separator is -

What you have suggested is a great method however, our Time and Labor data must be entered in the Paychex  web portal (https://timeandlabor.paychex.com/secure/login.asp?).

I have a logon script that loads this page and is is working great. What I really need is to be able to force that web page to come up when someone tries to logoff or shutdown. Then when that page is closed logoff and shut down continues.

You can use an onUnload event handler to create a new window (popup). But this technique is often blocked as it is a popup.

Doing it on page is fine until the browser is closed.

One option is to email the operator with a link to a page to capture the data once they logoff.

Can you elaborate.? Will this allow for the logging in to the Paychex portal entering of data and shutdown to begin once the window is closed?

I would just have a separate page which allows the Paychex processing. If you want to incorporate that into the onUnload event, fine, but make sure you tell the users about popups and that your site should be allowed to perform the popup.

Would you be able to provide an example or a code snippet defining your suggestion and how it would be implemented in a logoff script please.

Guess what. I just realised you meant logoff on the machine.

As far as I know, the logoff process inhibits the launching of new processes.

You would have to have the process running all the time and handle what happens when the program is told to close.

The program would need to run hidden and have access to whatever resources it needed all the time.

I think you need to think of a different way of handling this.

That is what I am trying to figure out. I am really looking for the options which can then be developed into the solution.

Then the only way I know is to have a small service app run all the time. When the app is told to close it asks for the additional details and saves them (maybe injecting them into a DB?). Once logged, the program can quit.

Using something like the windows resource tool kit will allow you to run any program as a service. You just need to track the close/exit event.

Based on the following statement you made on 07/03/09 09:57 PM, ID: 24775511:

I have a logon script that loads this page and is is working great. What I really need is to be able to force that web page to come up when someone tries to logoff or shutdown. Then when that page is closed logoff and shut down continues.

I would like to suggest creating a GPO and adding the script to  the User Configuration portion to have the users post there time.

Instructions

• Create a new GPO called "PostingTime" in a test OU with a test user account. 
• Go to User Configuration > Windows Settings > Scripts > Logoff 
• Insert the login script you have already built (optionally this can be applied to the Logon as well) 
• Apply changes to GPO and exit. 
• Login to test machine with user account 
• If no result, go to a command prompt and type gpupdate to refresh the machine with the new GPO. 
• Type gpresult and check to ensure that the new GPO has applied 
• Log off of the machine and back in and see you results 

Thank you ou_dober

I am able to get the Internet Explorer page to come up on logout now :)
However, It does not give enough time to login to the website and enter required data and logout prior to the Windows shutdown completing. Is there a way to pause the logoff/shutdown process until the Internet window is closed or for a specified amount of time (5-7 min)?

Can you post your script so that I can see what it is doing?  My first guess would be that you need a timeout string added in the vbscript to allow for enough time to run the browser.

This is what I have put in the testing script.

        Set WshNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
	    Set oIE = WScript.CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application") 
	    oIE.Visible = True 
	    oIE.Navigate("https://timeandlabor.paychex.com/secure/login.asp)

Unfortunately this did not help. Shut down continues be fore I can even get a username typed in. (About 10 seconds)

Correction 5 seconds

My mistake

Set wscript.sleep to 420000

1000 = 1 sec
