I have about 30 computers ( running win7 ) that need ie8 upgraded to ie9. I don't have access to group policies to push it out that way. So would there be a nice little script that i can put in the start up folders that would upgrade ie? also, the upgrade isn't pushed out through windows updates because corporate restricts updates until they are approved, and apparently they are letting people upgrade to ie9 if they want, but not automatically.

You can just host the file some where on the network and put a shortcut to the file in the startup folder or use a batch script.
Batch file example that deletes shortcut ot itself after running.
\\uncpath\IE9-Windows7-x64
del /s /q /f %CSIDL_COMMON_ALTSTARTUP %\InstallIE9.lnk

that's an idea Joshua - I haven't made an answer file before, but would it work to have one of those answer files for the install of ie9? if so, is there some walk throughs out there on how to make an answer file.
I dont think you need an answer file. Are you wanting to customize the install in some way?
Just copy the above into notepad and save it as a .bat
Be sure to correct the unc path to the installer, save the .bat file where the installer is and then create a shortcut to the bat file and place it in the startup folder
Also make sure that InstallIE9.lnk is the actual shortcut you made to the batch file.

sorry, I misunderstood you Joshua, so that batch you created will install IE9?
