The above script will auto login to a webpage, in this case our LMS system. This uses IE Com object for logging into a website. It only works with IE (no chrome or edge). I use this in a Powershell module called Start-Workday which loads my admin tools I use for the day.
I also created a shortcut for Start-Workday and renamed the script to Work day. This allows me say “Cortana, Start Work day” and Cortana ends up opening IE (LMS site), Edge (Helpdesk ticket system), Outlook, Skype for Business, and Microsoft Teams. There is also an End-Workday module which closes these applications.
