sql server 2014 developer 64 bit connection nightmares
by Marvin Hunkin 15 Oct '16

15 Oct '16

Hi. using windows 10 annivesary update 64 bit, and running sql server developer 2014, 64 bit. And when I try to use the management studio, keeps saying I cannot connect. So did try a repair repaired it, but says I have a unexpected network error, and when I go to options, and database entine engine, the user name for the server is MARVIN-PC, and then says I cannot connect. Did do a repair, and it repaired it, but saisd I could not still connect. The only way to get it to connect is to uninstall, then reinstall. Never had this before when I had windows 10 1511. So, any ways, or maybe any sql database gurus, maybe setting it up wrong. Just very frustrating. marvin.

restoring database accessibility sql server developer 2014 64 bit
by Marvin Hunkin 15 Oct '16

Hi. using windows 10 64 bit pro, and trying to restore some databases, and have tried jaws 17, jaws 18, and nvda 2016.3. the database combo box list does not show me the list of databases. Have to go to options, then check the box for the databases, then clicking on the button, brings up the database open dialog, but then have to use the jaws ocr to click the done button, with one of the databases, but did not add to sql studio. If management studio is not that accessible, suggest another one which works with jaws, have a whole heap of bak database backups, and no tool to restore that in visual studio, as a it programming student, and need to restore a bak file, for my current subject, about security risks for asp dot net. And I typed up the first web forms asp dot net project, and then it compiled, but when I tried to run, and using firefox 49, windows 10 1607 64 bit, visual studio 2015 community, says it cannot find the file. Unless some one has got any scripts for that database restore window, have tried searching online, but could not find an answer, for accessibility, about the restore feature, or why I keep getting a network error, and have to uinstall and then reinstall sql server, then management studio will let me back in today, but tomorrow, will not be able to get back in. might have to search to see if I can find a tool for to restore databases from bak files, in visual studio. Any ideas, or help. Thanks.

Improvements in Microsoft accessibility but more to do.
by Darragh Ó Héiligh 03 Oct '16

Hello, I had the opportunity to briefly speak to Satya Nadella, the CEO of Microsoft today. I clearly relayed the message that Accessibility in Microsoft products had improved recently and it would appear that some departments within Microsoft are certainly moving in the right direction but of course more work is needed. He seemed interested in what I had to say and the senior execs that I spoke to afterword agreed. An opportunity like that doesn't come up every day so I thought I'd mention it. Regards Darragh

Re: [Blind-sysadmins] MS mail verses Hosted exchange

Hi Troy: I moved my ryanshugart.com domain to Office 365 almost 18 months ago and have been very happy with it. The admin experience is pretty easy, and there are a ton of options on what you can do to manage the service based on how deep and involved you want to go into Exchange, etc. May I ask who you’d be moving away from? My former employer had their Exchange hosted through an outfit called Intermedia and no one was really happy with it.

My non-profit has a free Office 365 business essentials account from Microsoft's donation program which comes with Email. Wondering if anyone using it for an organization or company finds it reliable? Mostly want it to sync with a smart phone and Outlook in a Windows environment.

possibly off topic: network configs and TVs
by Katherine Moss 28 Sep '16

Hi all, I'm preparing to move and I want my network to be as configured to my standards as possible; none of that ISP provides the router configuration stuff. My thoughts are as follows: put my ISP modem into bridged mode and have a Ubiquiti EdgeRouter acting as primary router/vpn/firewall; DNS and DHCP would be running as Windows servers (please don't ask, but I don't know why I'm so picky about that). That's all well and good, but since I've heard that EdgeOS plays havoc with ISP-provided cable boxes (running ethernet's not an option seeing that my future apartment is an edition onto the existing house and the only connectivity available is Coaxial (there's not an RJ45 jack to be found!)), I'm looking for a solution where I can still watch a movie or watch Fox without having to pay for cable and introduce a device over which I've got no access or control. I've thought of the following possibilities so far: Xbox running the latest OS (since the gaming side of me's still there, so wouldn't be a waste of money connect to Netflix, Fox, NESN,, whatever with that in addition to music and what not), a chromecast, though not sure how accessible they are,, Apple TV, though not sure how well that would work considering I'm switching to Android on the phone eventually, and finally, my most basic but least-preferred option, get a basic TV with an HdMI output and connect my Laptop whenever I want to watch something, which, isn't often, really. Any other suggestions would be great.

Hello all: The company I work for is thinking to buy team viewer. Does anyone use team viewer with screen readers? Do all of the versions work with screen readers, or is there a specific version that does. Thanks in advance. Kathryn
