On an SBS2011 server I can see in AD that users have logon.bat in the Log In Scripts field of their profiles, but when I search the hard drive of the server I can't find logon.bat.
Firstly, I assume I just need to create it. Where do I store it so it will work?
Secondly, I am going to use msiexec /i \\ipaddress\ClickOneLegal\3.2.5.1003\PracticeEvolveClientSetup.msi /qn to install our practice management software, but how can I also install Microsoft .NET Framework 4 silently?
Thirdly, how can I make the script detect if these softwares are already installed and not proceed if this is the case?

keep in mind, that if you want to install software, which requires admin rights, you cannot execute it from user logon script, because it will be executed under the user credentials. check for example this forum at Microsoft TechNet.
I would recommend you to use Group Policy and configure startup scripts, which are executed at computer startup.
