I've never worked on an intranet, and I try to avoid updating to any Microsoft product that was released after about 2000. In general the products have become less secure, more complex, and wildly bloated. (I have Win7 RC on a test PC for testing software, but it's not on a network.) In the case of IE, Microsoft has gradually blocked functions that work well with script but might be security risks. At the same time the IE security settings have become so convlouted as to be nearly unusable. If I were you I would research what has changed in IE8. Maybe there's something you can do. Alternatively, since you don't need to show IE anyway, maybe you could use another method to do what you want? It used to be possible to make IE show offscreen by doing something like setting the Left property to 3,000, but I think that's one of the functions that is now blocked.
