By "website" do you mean the Chef Server UI?

I'm trying to understand what you're trying to accomplish in order to
guide you better. As long as a recipe runs through to completion, that
fact is reported to the Chef server by default; and if a Chef run
completes, all the recipes were run correctly. So those are all things
you can get from the Chef Server without having to write any code.

Also, is the storing of the Internet Explorer version literally what
you are trying to accomplish? Or is that just an example?
