On Windows the default behavior it to make an annoying "beep" sound every time Windows things something notable happened. The result is that when someone send a company-wide email via the MS Exchange all computers around my cubicle beep one by one. This is annoying and makes no sense.
Luckily beeping can be shut off. Someone has to:
open the "Device Manager",
select "View - Show hidden devices",
find the "Beep" device in "Non-Pug and Play Devices" node,
open its properties, go to the "Driver" tab,
set "startup type" to "Disabled" and
click "Stop".
The "Beep" device will stop and no longer produce the useless sound.
This solution however requires tracking every computer and then talking to its user which is not very convenient. Device Manager doesn't allow stopping a device on another computer.
I'm looking for a solution that can be deployed by the administrators team. We have a domain and the administrators even install the programs company-wide automatically. Are there any means to stop the "Beep" device an all computers in the Windows network with some remote-administration features automatically?
