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.

Probably to just add votes and/or comments to the post that Darragh made, no need to track duplicates.

System Center Configuration Manager admins
by Ryan Shugart 07 Mar '16

07 Mar '16

Hi: As I’ve mentioned in the past I’ve been working with Microsoft Accessibility and the Configuration Manager team to improve accessibility to the System Center Configuration Manager admin console, which has some major issues today. I’ve made some progress, but the story I’m getting now is that the team is being pushed on all sides, and they’re just not finding the resources to make accessibility the priority it needs to be. If there are any other blind Configuration Manager admins out there, would you mind posting a report on http://configurationmanager.uservoice.com Requesting accessibility fixes? Since I’ve done it via the product team me posting wouldn’t help, but if they can see other users out there posting and voting that would help. Thanks a lot. Ryan

Thanks a lot Darragh, my hope as well. I’ll certainly vote yours up in the mean time.

Braille Lite as a Cisco console?
by Megan Bening 04 Mar '16

04 Mar '16

Hey everyone, Recently, I have found that using an old Braille Lite (yes, that one, from the 90s) works extremely well for me as a Cisco console. Not only can I execute commands and read with Braille or speech, but I can also log the input and output. Has anyone else used a Braille Lite for this? If not, what do you find works best for using Cisco hardware consoles? Additionally, has anyone who HAS used a Braille Lite for Cisco been able to get access to the later firmware versions recently (namely M20 version 4.1)? 4.1 introduced Interactive Mode, which auto reads as the screen updates, and mine is stuck on version 4.0. If anyone has this firmware or tips for how I might get it, please let me know! Contacting FS has gotten me nowhere, which I figured would happen, because it's not supported. Many thanks, Megan

Open DNS in a corporate environment?
by Ryan Shugart 03 Mar '16

03 Mar '16

Hi: Anyone used Open DNS on a business network? Currently our internal DNS servers resolve external queries by just going to the root servers and working from there, but our security guy has it in his head that OpenDNS is a better way to go for some reason. In looking at their web site they do offer some business services that report to block malware by blocking its DNS lookups (until malware writers use IP addresses directly or point to another public DNS server I guess that would work well.) I know quite a few people that use OpenDNS at home and I think it works well, I’m just wondering if its really more secure than just going the route we go today. Thanks. Ryan
