Tables in m365 admin sites inaccessible
by core7xx＠gmail.com 12 Apr '23

12 Apr '23

Hi all, I use the admin pages of m365 like: Admin.microsoft.com Or the message trace in the new exchange admin center as examples. What I'm finding is that I'm not able to select users or information that is presented in a table. This started happening a few weeks ago. I've tried using different machines, screenreaders and different accounts from different tenants. Not sure if this affects a specific region. Any help/advice would be much appreciated. Kind Regards

MSDN subscription
by Andrew Hodgson 06 Apr '23

06 Apr '23

Hi. Is anyone here funding their own MSDN subscription? I am thinking of doing this and potentially using it for my Office365 tenant. I did have an MSDN subscription through the company but due to a recent takeover we have lost the benefit. Would be interested to see what others are doing for funding this. Thanks. Andrew.

Hi. Its likely that whatever lockdowns you have you will have the same issue with another partition manager tool as I expect they use similar methods to resize the volumes. If you explain the lockdowns you have done it may help but try the tool I mentioned at www.lsoft.net first. Thanks.

Hi. Can you modify the volume size if you boot to a Windows setup environment? I think I've done that before. Its been a long time since I needed to modify a partition. I've had good luck with the software from www.lsoft.net but not used the partition manager. I have the Data Studio suite which includes most of their products. Thanks.

PRTG
by Billy Irwin 03 Apr '23

03 Apr '23

Hi All, It is great to be back on the list. I have some news for all of you looking for a NMS solution. PRTG by Paessler is getting a GUI makeover and will be WCAG compliant with their new interface. I've been testing it in my production environment with much success. The GUI isn't complete by no means, but it is a great step in the right direction. They have committed to making their solution complaint. The interface is still in alpha. You can download their demo and work with it and send them feedback if you are interested. I will also add that they added WCAG to their public roadmap as well.. Best, Billy L. Irwin Sr. Cyber Security / Network Engineer County Government
