Non-domain windows computers will not connect to enterprise WiFi without manual configuration. This has been a pain for years. Apple products all work. Cell phones work. But Windows requires all these clicks.

Network name: xxxx
Security type: WPA2-Enterprise
Next
Change connection settings

Mitel NuPoint auto attendant override message.

I think of this feature as an alternate greeting.

Example:
"We are closed for the snowstorm today."

The message can be recorded and enabled remotely via phone.

Dial in to the message center.
xxxx * (Attendant mailbox number and *)
Passcode
* (AA options)

Here is what my call flow looks like.

How to disable a network interface from the Windows command line.


I found out I have computers connected to the same network with ethernet and wireless. Windows appears to have strange performance issues with this setup. These are desktops so they do not need wifi enabled.

psexec \\remotepc cmd
netsh interface show interface
netsh interface set interface "Wireless Network Connection" admin=disable

Quick and fast fix.
