The goals for this project were to build a new desktop, install Microsoft Lync, configure the computer speakers to automatically turn on and off on specific days throughout the week, and to configure the desktop to automatically log on and lock right afterwards. Specifications that were required: Windows 7 Professional Edition, an Intel Core 2 Duo 2.2 GHz processor, and Microsoft Lync installed. After setting up the desktop the next task was to configure the speakers. To do so the student on this project used NirCmd, a small command-line utility which allows the user to run simple operating activities without displaying the user-interface details. The student then configured the triggers, actions, conditions, and settings for the speaker. Next the student used a lock workstation visual basics script through Windows Task Scheduler to configure the auto-lock property.
