This has been annoying a few users and I found a solution(s) on another forum -

We were able to resolve the issue by doing the following:

Resolution (1) Client action required
1. sc stop beep && sc config beep start= disabled

Note: since this requires client action is not very effective in an enterprise envirionment.

Resolution (2) Terminal Server Side action
1. net stop beep
2. sc config beep start= disabled
3. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server
Name = DisableBeep
Type = DWORD
Value = 1

And
Name = MessageBeep
Type = DWORD
Value = 1

4. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Sound
"Beep"="no"
"ExtendedSounds"="yes"

5. Reboot system, problem resolved.

Resolution (2) was found to be most effective and was chosen as our solution.

I am trying to do option 1 as it only one machine, plus i dont want to mess around on Citrix registry whilst my boss is on holiday!

I cannot run command prompt on the users machine as it says its been disabled by admin. I found this line but need some help modifing it to work. The remote machine name is GL0004

sc \remoteMachine stop beep && sc \remoteMachine config beep start= disabled



Thanks
