Hello, I am sorry for the off topic post, but i wanted to know if someone has any experience with the above cisco IP phone and its accessibility. The company i am working for have just roled these phones out to everyone and seeing as they have a range of features, is there a way to make this functionality accessible? The phone that has been given to us is the Cisco IP phone 7942. I know that there are third party applications that can be installed on this phone, but i would be grateful for any more information on how to go about this. Regards, Chamandeep Singh

Active Directory, Exchange and IOS
by Barry Toner 10 May '13

Hi folks, The above mix is great when it works, but a pain when one breaks down. I cant' seem to find a way for a user with an IOS device to get the prompt to change their AD password after a reset. I'll try and explain ina brief scenario. Customer rings Helpdesk, have forgotten their password. Helpdesk resets the password in AD, and enables the pfor the user to change it upon their enxt log-in. This is fine if the user is in front of their computer they log-on to the domain, as Windows will prompt them. However, if they're accessing their emails through Exchange and IOS and the above scenario take splace they wont' get this change password prompt. Therefore the Helpdesk will have tos et a permanent password. Not good. Has anyone came across this and if so found either a workaround or a solution, on have any theories on this? Thanks, Barry.

Remote assistance
by Christian 05 May '13

Hi all, have just subscribed to this list and have done some searching, but just want to be sure that I am not missing anything here. I need to configure a Windows 7 based system remotely, but the person doesn't have JAWS or Window-Eyes, although he can install it. Are there any other alternative I should look into? I have read about Seroteks RIM, but are there any other solutions as of today? Many thanks for any info, Christian

ram not right
by David Mehler 04 May '13

04 May '13

Hello Everyone, I've got a new machine and I maxed out it's ram. The board can take 32 GB of ram and that's what it has. It's running win7 professional 64 bit, (I checked Microsoft and that can take 192 GB of ram), and it's not showing ram right. In system information I'm seeing total physical ram 24 gb, a full 8 short, usable physical ram 16 GB, and available when I look is 14.7 GB. I don't think these numbers are right. The board is a gigabyte GA970-d3 rev 1.4. I believe it's dual channel. I took out the ram chips in pairs so instead of four the system had two, numbers were still not right, got 12 gb of total ram instead of 16. The ram is g.skill 1866 clockspeed I believe but in the bios that's only at 1333. I can't believe I've got four bad chips, or since this came in two separate orders one bad chip per order. I'm now wondering if it's a timing issue, if the ram can't clock down from 1866 to 1333 usually in my experience hardware can clock down one level but not two. I'm going to try a grml 64 USB disk when I return later today see what that shows, and I read it had a ram tester I'll give that a go. I'd appreciate any thoughts or suggestions. Thanks. Dave.
