>How do you know that this operation is succeeding on your laptop?
Because the script closes the IE browsers that it finds.

>How do you know that this operation is failing on the desktops?
Because the script indicates that it found no IE browser and fails to close the existing IE browsers.


>What kind of error are you getting from the the PCs that are failing?
No error - the script simply indicates that 0 IE browsers are found, even though they do exist.

>Are the PCs actually running IE? The same version? Does that matter?
Yes, yes, and I don't know.

>What makes you think it's a security configuration issue?
It's a guess.
