OT: linux/Ubuntu for Ruby on Rails
by Chamandeep Singh Grover 29 May '15

29 May '15

Hi All, Sorry for the off topic post. I have always been very interested to work with Ruby on rails, I have created a few apps on windows, however it is not considered the best method in industry to use Windows for developing Ruby on Rails applications. So my question is, How accessible is Linux and Ubuntu for me if I am moving from Windows 8 with Jaws. I understand they are completely different environments and different ways of working, but is the accessibility stable enough for me to consider looking into this further as a career? Or does setting up and negotiating with accessibility issues take much longer and therefore will generally be unproductive. Has anyone on this list attempted to use something like Ruby mine or Sublime text? Look forward to your comments. Chamandeep singh Grover

Splunk accessibility
by Chris Nestrud 28 May '15

Anyone have any comments on using Splunk, particularly their app for Enterprise Security? On the surface, the commandline and REST API seem usable, while the web user interface seems accessible apart from some unlabeled elements. Chris

certification questions
by Kelly Prescott 17 May '15

17 May '15

Hello to all on this list. My name is Kelly Prescott and I am currently enrolled for a degree in Information Technology-Network Administration. I am not new to this area, but up to now, my experience is with Unix/Linux systems which I have little to no problem with in terms of accessability. I managed the Network Operations Center for a ISP for about 10 years, so I am relatively experienced. My weak points are stuff involving Windows as that was not my area. This program is All Windows All the time! I am trying to do the Microsoft certifications and my forst cert attempt was a total non-success. Certiport who provided the test said it was accessible with JAWS, and it was not. So my first question is Is there anyone on here who has gone through the certification process with Microsoft, and if so, how did you manage accessability? My testing center knows less than I do about the process, and when I called certiport customer service, They told me to send a email. I did that, but I am looking for input/ideas from others so I don't have to "blaze" a new trail from scratch. -- Kelly PRescott

Cross domain trusts.
by Darragh Ó Héiligh 06 May '15

06 May '15

Hello, I've been tairing my hair out over this one for about five hours now. It's about the third time I've done this and I've never had a problem before. Basically I have two domains. Lets called them hosed and cloud. Hosted is 2008R2 functional level for the forest and domain. Cloud is 2012R2 functional level for the domain and forest. I can get the trust working. However, I never see the trust when I click the "look in" button when trying to add groups from hosted to cloud. When I validate the trust it reports that it's all working properly. Do you have any ideas? I must be missing something stupid. Thanks Darragh

OWA lite in Office 365
by Ryan Shugart 04 May '15

04 May '15

Hi everyone: I know this came up before but I can't find the messages on it. I'm migrating my email from my current Exchange host over to Office 365, and was wondering, what is the URL to force OWA into lite mode? Despite the improvements from screen readers, the none lite site still doesn't always work too well. I think I have the theme in OWA set to lite but it refuses to come up in lite mode. Thanks. Ryan

Updating windows8 to 8.1 update1
by David Mehler 07 Apr '15

07 Apr '15

Hello, This is probably an easy one to some, but I'm new to win8. I got a copy of it about a year or so ago got it in a vm, and then my VMware busted. Well, long story short got it fixed, and am now back with 8 learning, and I've been told that 8.1 is a major improvement over 8, is this so? Secondly, update1 is almost a must have. I'd like to get both of these, they're not coming through windows update. My screen reader if it matters is NVDA 2015.1. Thanks. Dave.
