How to make remote computer beep
I need to find a computer in the building, I know the IP address, able to ping, it is a windows PC. How can I make this computer beep so I can locate it? Thanks in advance.
I would check my ARP table to determine it's MAC address, and then consult the MAC tables in my switches to determine what port it's plugged into, which would tell me whose computer it is - or, provided you have reverse DNS setup, you could do nslookup -type=ptr 10.1.168.192.in-addr.arpa. to get it's name
echo @echo (Alt-7) >beep.bat
The (Alt-7) is holding down the ALT key while pressing the 7 key on the numeric keypad.
That will create a batch file that beeps.

I forgot to mention, your batch should be
echo :loop>beep.bat
echo @echo (Alt-7) >>beep.bat
echo goto loop >>beep.bat
that way it continues beeping. Copy the file to the remote PC and use a remote command util such as psexec to execute it remotely.

if you have remote control, you could eject the CD drive as a visual pointer to the PC. Start.. Run.. mstsc

I tried use net send /domain:<computername> it doesn't work, only beep once.
I have no reverse DNS setup, can not find the MAC address.
X:\>nslookup -type=ptr 192.168.0.12 in-addr.arpa.
*** Can't find server address for 'in-addr.arpa.':
Server: dc1
Address: 192.168.0.30
And I can not remote control that PC, all I can do is ping and get an IP address.

Can you use your routing and switching infrastructure to tell which port its plugged into on the patch frame which would point you to a cubical?
