Hi all, I am required to set up a windows server 2016 VM for one of the classes I am taking this semester. Has anyone had experience doing this? I cannot get any sound once the OS is loaded. Thanks, Mike

IT Management

Greetings All, I recently got a promotion to a new position at my company. I am the new I.T. Systems Administrator II. We have almost 100 users and are still growing. I have a decent budget to work with and I am considering getting something for managing tickets, installation of software and inventory just to name a few. Also a MDM will be very helpful. Also to add I've built an Active Directory Domain with 3 DC's 1 of which is at a different physical location. I am using GPO to their full potential except Microsoft wants us to move to Windows 10 enterprise to gain the rest of the features. One option I am looking at is Manage Engine. I am primarily a JAWS user so accessibility is of much importance. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks Kindly, Billy
