Win 11: Always getting a temp profile on this laptop
by Eigeldinger Simon 16 Sep '24

16 Sep '24

a Hi all, It's me again. This time i should get a new computer. At the moment i am working on a Win 10 desktop PC (HP ProDesk 600 G3 Microtower). This machine will be replaced with a HP ProBook 460 G11 laptop running Win 11. We are using roaming profiles. Admin users have no problem loggging into this machine. When i login with my current user i get the following error: We can't sign into your account" and 'You've been signed in with a temporary profile So we restarted 5 times. We completely wiped the machine. This didn't help either. I also created a brand new user and tried to login as well. The same issue occurs. Then we restarted 5 times again. Nothing. Has soneone had this problem as well? Our Domaincontroller is a Windows 2016 Server. Greetings and thanks, Simon

Hi all, As i wrote a few months ago, we plan to get a cisco pbx running virtually. Does someone know if cisco pbx can work with other sip equipment from other vendors? Or are there problems when you are using non cisco devices? Greetings and thanks, Simon

Recommendations for on-line poll
by John G. Heim 21 Aug '24

21 Aug '24

I need to set up an on-line poll for the local NFB chapter. Do any of you have recommendations for the best, most accessible, place for me to configure the poll? You know how it is, it is difficult enough to get people to respond to a poll, even harder if they encounter any accessibility problems. PS: The poll is to allow people to rank their choice for recreational activities to do in the next year. Horseback riding, rock climbing, bowling, etc.

self-hosting a vaultwarden instance?
by David Mehler 19 Aug '24

19 Aug '24

Hello, Has anyone self-hosted a vaultwarden instance so they can utilize there own private password manager perhaps for example-sake on a Raspberry Pi? If so, how did you get it set up? I've read many howtos on it some say one thing others another. What were your impressions of the setup process and how do you like self-hosting a password manager? Thanks. Dave. -- Sent with Thunderbird

Hyper-V setup and accessibility?
by David Mehler 16 Aug '24

16 Aug '24

Hello, Is anyone using Hyper-V and if so how easy was it to get going from an accessibility perspective? I'm apparently needing a new virtualization platform as apparently vmware went up in price and the player variant is no longer freely available. Suggestions welcome. Thanks. Dave. -- Sent with Thunderbird

Changing Mail Routing
by Kelly Ford 23 Jul '24

23 Jul '24

Hello, Does anyone have thoughts on what I can try to diagnose a problem I’m having changing the destination for one of my email accounts. I currently have the mx record pointing to a Microsoft server because kelly(a)theideaplace.net<mailto:kelly@theideaplace.net> is the account I use with a Microsoft business subscription. I want to return the mail to the destination where the rest of that domain is hosted on Bluehost. I’ve lowed the priority of the MX record for Microsoft to 10 and added a new MX record at priority 0 pointing to mail.theideaplace.net<http://mail.theideaplace.net>. With these changes in place, email quits going to Microsoft but it is not showing up on the servers for Bluehost and is not being returned as a problematic address. I have no idea where the mail is actually going. If I delete the priority 0 MX record for mail.theideaplace.net<http://mail.theideaplace.net>, then my mail shows back up on the Microsoft Exchange server where the lower priority MX record points. Kelly

Thanks Billy, I didn't know Tucows had other domain resellers, I thought Hover was the only one. I'll start investigating this, my domains are set up for the year so I have time to figure out next steps. Thanks again.

I have no JAWS issues with the stuff I have through them. As much as they have gobbled up, I wonder if they intend on operating them as separate entities or truly merging them.

I was wondering if you by chance had been in touch with their accessibility team or had contacts on their accessibility team? Both of my personal domains are registered through Hover, which is owned by Tucows, and I cringe every year at renewal time because the control panel to manage a domain has so many basic accessibility errors its not even funny. I’ve thought several times about transferring my domains to someone else, the only reason I don’t is I only have to interact with Hover once a year to renew my domains, all my DNS records are stored on Microsoft servers, and managing DNS records in Office 365 is not a great user experience but at least its an accessible one. I’ve contacted Hover support over this and they can’t reregister me over the phone “to protect my security” but they did give me free registration for a year. I’m just wondering if those of you with Tucows contacts have a way to escalate this to the accessibility people? Thanks a lot.
