First question: Am trying to set up the 'Take a Test' url link for an online test. I have been using the create a link information that Microsoft provides for the following:

ms-edu-secureassessment:https://etestsonline.org/eTests2/?tat=true#enforcelockdown

It creates a Take a Test shortcut, but I get the following error when trying to then use the link:

"Problem with Shortcut. Unable to open this Internet Shortcut. The protocol "ms-edu-secureassessment" does not have a registered program. I check the Registry in the Classes, and there is not an Open command associated with this built-in app. What is the fix?

Second question: I saw that one can create a local account that is specifically for 'Take A Test' in the Settings>Accounts>Access Work>'set up an account for taking tests'.

a. Is there a command-line for creating this account and making it specific to 'Take A Test' settings, rather than having to create it manually?

b. Can one have more than one of these special 'Take A Test' accounts on a machine? As one has to supply the testing URL, it is specific to only one test.

Thanks!
Sara
