  • Is this to be run on start-up for each system? If so you would be better to start looking though WMI.

    This will get you kicking just replace FQDN with your FQDN and see how that goes for a starter.

    All this does is looks at the WMI of the system and pulls information stored there.

    get-wmiobject win32_ntdomain | Where-Object -FilterScript {$_.DNSForestName -eq 'FQDN'} | select *

    If this has the information you want we can then narrow it down to a single item and make it into a variable based on the word. - Rob_Cliffeild 7 years ago

This will write the shortcut

$DestinationPath = 'C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Blah IE.lnk'
$SourceExe = 'C:\program files (x86)\Interenet Explorer\iexplore.exe'
$ArgumentsToSourceExe = 'http://blah.com'

$WshShell = New-Object -ComObject WScript.Shell
$Shortcut = $WshShell.CreateShortcut($DestinationPath)
$Shortcut.TargetPath = $SourceExe
$Shortcut.Arguments = $ArgumentsToSourceExe
$Shortcut.Save()
