What are folks using for various SQL tools under Win7? How is MySQL on Windows resources--memory, CPU, etc., and what accessible query and database-management software is out there?

Discoverer

Has anybody out here used Discoverer to draw reports from an Oracle database? I know that Oracle, as a rule, isn't very accessible and I am wondering if this product is. I am using the latest JFW. Thx, Jeff

Citrix.
by Darragh Ó Héiligh 25 Sep '13

25 Sep '13

Good afternoon, I'm connecting to a client site at the moment and they use Citrix. I've got access to their web portal and I've selected the server... or what I thought was the server. Once this worked, I am presented with a really strange dialogue. The window title is remote desktop remote 256 bit ssl / tls. I'm aware thanks to some messing around with OCR on my phone that I'm presented with a list of servers but no screen reader will interact with this. I'm slightly stumped. I have to get access to the server that needs to be worked on but I cannot under any sercomstnaces choose the wrong server. Have any of you experience with using Citrix? Is it normal that screen readers just won't interact with this dialogue?

How to use GRMl or similar to crack Windows log-on password?
by Barry Toner 25 Sep '13

25 Sep '13

Hi folks, We have a PC that has just been handed back into us from a site in work. Of course the tech who set the machine up is no longer with us and we've went through our standard IT dept passwords but can't' get onto the admin account he setup. Can anyone advise on either A how to get into the Windows Admin account or B what I need to do to use GRML or something similar, (without sighted assistance), to crack the password? Thanks, Barry.

Moving from VMWare lab manager to VCloud
by Jared Stofflett 12 Sep '13

12 Sep '13

Hello, I’m a developer who uses VMware Lab Manager to do a lot of testing. Our company is moving to VCloud, and I’ve taken a look at it. It appears to be flash based with half of the stuff labeled, and generally unusable. Are there any alternative interfaces I can use for this? I don’t mind a command-line interface but am not sure how all the authentication would work since it appears that we semi integrate with active directory since when we log in we have to enter the same id and password we use to get onto the domain. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

If you're comfortable using linux you might want to give vinux a try. It's an Ubuntu derivative made for and by the visually impaired community. It can be found at: http://vinuxproject.org Hope this can help. Flip

Conduit search protect, help in killing and removing
by David Mehler 10 Sep '13

10 Sep '13

Hello Everyone, I've got an x86 win7 box that came to me for help. The report was the internet was slow and the box had slowed down. Well, checking it I know why, someone had turned *off* UAC entirely and installed a bunch of stuff, a tpm (Trusted platform module) program, and a wireless driver it looks like someone was atempting to do win7 wireless sniffing just as a guess. There were also a torrent program and something called zlosk messenger that was the obvious stuff, in addition there's something called conduit search protect which is malware, and was described by a page on the net as having rootkit characteristics but not being one. Well, I've thrown essentials and malware bytes at it, both with the latest updates, and that's not clearing it. Some pages show recommendations to deal with it, but I have never heard of any of the programs, they're not made by a familiar vendor so I don't touch them. I've got the box disconnected from the net, in my experience some of this malware phones home as I call it for help, which is what I don't want. I'd appreciate any recommendations or if you've fought and killed this thing previously what you've used. Thanks. Dave.

domain registrar won't contact me
by David Mehler 04 Sep '13

04 Sep '13

Hello, I've got two domains, more than that, but two for this message, hosted at adotname.com they are not responding to my support contact requests. I am wondering what to do? Secondary question, if I have to move these two domains and I might, what are recommendations? I'm also needing to change billing, and contact information for these domains so maybe a new registrar would be best. Thanks. Dave.

VmWare backup solutions
by Andrew Hodgson 03 Sep '13

03 Sep '13

Hi, I am looking at what people are using to backup ESXI 5.1 environments these days. I am used to using a backup storage appliance/VTL with backup agents running inside the VMs, with a backup software running on a physical server doing the collection work, but know this isn't efficient. Shared storage will be used in this environment, and I am happy to use VSS snapshots. Any suggestions? Thanks. Andrew.
