New Outlook on the Web and questions regarding NVDA and JAWS
by Katherine Moss 10 Feb '17

10 Feb '17

Hi all, In light of recent projects, I've had the opportunity to try out Outlook on the Web. I find it works ... somewhat,, but I did notice a few unlabeled buttons. I find sending emails very difficult, and then trying to switch between portions of the interface very inconvenient at best, impossible at worst when frames don't let screen readers go. I'll be glad though to report that behavior from JAWS and NVDA are the same. What do you all say?

Outlook 2016 with new Exchange account has autodiscover configured as IMAP rather than MAPI, ,
by Katherine Moss 10 Feb '17

10 Feb '17

Hey all, I'm wondering whether somebody ultimately goofed. We've got a new Exchange server up ... running 2016 with Outlook 2016. On premise, and with autodiscover configured. When I opt to use my credentials, it behaves and everything like an Exchange server normally does ... but when I look in my accounts it shows as IMAP rather than Exchange ... I have all of my inbox and what not folders under an Outlook folder with the name of my email address like normal, but then there is this other set of folders under that with an empty inbox and outbox, but a full contacts,, calendars, and notes folder, under the name "My Outlook Datafile (1)". I can send,, receive, add events to the calendar, add contacts to the server, and everything, but it's bothering me that I've got a split configuration. Thought Exchange used MAPI by default? I'm definitely suspecting somebody goofed since my off premise other email account using Office 365 (this one) doesn't do this. Thoughts would be great. We do have full AD implemented as well, though my workstation doesn't have a current connection to it since we're still messing with domain structures if that matters. Needless to say, this is driving me five kinds of bonkers.

Windows PE with Narrator
by Cleverson Casarin Uliana 03 Feb '17

03 Feb '17

Great news. I hope soon we have talking WinPE images containing all of tools for computer maintenance, similar to some Linux Distributions nowadays, and then the only thing missing will be for Microsoft to make possible for the Windows boot loader to beep at the boot prompt, similar to grub, to make easier for those who want to have more than one OS installed to choose what system to boot. Greetings, Cleverson

Has anyone found a way of joining meetings hosted in Go To Meeting? It always seems to be completely unaccessible to me. Thanks

Munki and Administering a Mac
by Fermin, German 31 Jan '17

Just wanted get feedback from folks around here about Munki and if anyone's had any experiences admin-ing macs. Good bad? Primarily Munki apparently is done via terminal. I'm somewhat new to using terminal on the mac and found it a bit clunky with Voiceover. Although I've just started so. Thanks all German
