A script to enable sound and turn up the volume
by Darragh Ó Héiligh 06 Sep '17

06 Sep '17

I'm looking for a script that will check to see if the sound cards are muted then if they are, unmutes them. Then if the volume is below 10% increases the volume to something a little more reasonable such as 40% or 50%. Then I want to run the script again and set everything the way it was before I got there. Do any of you have such a thing? This might be really complicated or really easy. I haven't looked yet.

Hi all, Our people started to use onenote over here in the office to write our documentation. I just need to read it. Unfortunately onenote isn't accessible. tested onenote 2010 and 2016. Anyone knows a good converter? Or an idea how to access that data? We have a lot of sub notebooks and stuff.

setting up a VM

Hello, Has anyone had experience setting up a virtual machine? I am having trouble installing the operating system. Which VM software program do you recommend? I am taking a course that recommends Virtual Box, but I can use any program. I need to set up a VM that runs windows 10. Thank you, Mike

Direct access Windows server 2016, anyone?
by Katherine M. Moss 28 Aug '17

28 Aug '17

Hi all, Has anybody gotten this to work? I want to try; would love to get my group off of the free version of PulseSecure VPN since it's obvious that it's broken, and we don't have the networking skills to fix it, nor the money to buy a license. Plus I want to succeed in getting a native Windows complex technology working. Everyone has tried but me, and none can get it going. We have a setup where the DA server would be behind a NAT, not on the EDGE (except for the one in the datacenter, but all of the local internal networks would have their behind a NAT.) We would also have to avoid use of the Teredo protocol, considering we don't have multiple public IP addresses to play with. Any suggestions on a good configuration to connect a few sites? Thanks.
