new Office 365 admin portal
by Ryan Shugart 17 Mar '16

17 Mar '16

Hi: I know several of us on here have Office 365 tenants either for our personal domain or businesses. I just wanted to give you the heads up that the new Office 365 admin portal Microsoft is rolling out has some major accessibility issues, most buttons have no alt tags, and I think screen readers don't identify most of the clickable items. I know Window-Eyes 9.4 doesn't. I've not explored too far with this because at this point you can still switch back to the classic admin portal, which is quirky but accessible. I've already reported the issues to edad(a)microsoft.com, and have been told bugs are being filed so hopefully this will be resolved soon. Obviously this isn't a show stopper as there are plenty of other ways to get to most admin functions, the IOS app still works, and there's always Powershell which is my preferred method. Ryan

Come on people. This needs more of your votes. If you had such a crucial accessibility problem you would hope that we would get behind you. This takes only a few minutes. There are dozens of peope on this list so there should be mmore votes cast at this stage. https://configurationmanager.uservoice.com/forums/300492-ideas/suggestions/…

Getting other Pes to talk?
by David Mehler 14 Mar '16

Hello, Aside from the talking win7 and win10 PE environments has anyone got any other Pes' to talk? I'm thinking specifically the gui that Macrium Reflect makes when you make a recovery image and write that to a thumb drive. I'd love to get audio going as well as NVDA in that environment. Thanks. Dave.

PowerCLI is still available and works as before. VMWare pushes the Flashed-based client now but the older client is still available and works much as before, don’t expect any new functionality though. I personally use Powershell for most VMWarestuff I do these days which isn’t much anymore.

How accessible is VMware eSXI 6? What can be done. What cannot be done? Can I still use VSphere? Can I use powershell with VCenter? Any suggestions or help welcome.
