Would it be possible to present a form to users at login that collects their login name (alias), computername, and has a field for entering their phone number & location code?

I want to update the phone numbers that are in the Active Directory.  Rather than wait for each user to put in a ticket to update the information, I was thinking that I could improve participation if I could present a form to the user when they login.
I could capture the username & computer name an dhave the user type in their phone number & their location code.  I would accummulate this information in a spreadsheet and use it to batch update the AD.  The user would hit a submit button on the form, which would post the information somewhere & stop the form from re-appearing at future logins.
Something along that line.  Just looking to update my AD info for 500 users.

You can use vbscript:

or powershell:

It is not a problem to get other info and check record in some csv file with user info and don't ask twice.

Very good, WebDevEM. Only one addition: add exit do after alreadyDone = 1.
Ah, good catch!  No sense in continuing to search once you find their name.
