I did the MCITP Enterprise and server 2008 R2 certs (6 exams), and only got anywhere with a training company in the UK called Firebrand. All other attempts to get certs have gone wrong. I tried to do the upgrade exam to 2012 R2 last year and had a similar failure due to not getting a competent reader. >> >> Thanks. >> Andrew. >> >> -----Original Message----- >> From: Blind-sysadmins [mailto:blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org] On Behalf Of Kelly Prescott >> Sent: 14 May 2015 23:21 >> To: blind-sysadmins(a)lists.hodgsonfamily.org >> Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] certification questions >> >> 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 >> >> >> >> _______________________________________________ >> Blind-sysadmins mailing list >> Blind-sysadmins(a)lists.hodgsonfamily.org >> https://lists.hodgsonfamily.org/listinfo/blind-sysadmins >> >> _______________________________________________ >> Blind-sysadmins mailing list >> Blind-sysadmins(a)lists.hodgsonfamily.org >> https://lists.hodgsonfamily.org/listinfo/blind-sysadmins > > -- > John Heim, jheim(a)math.wisc.edu, skype:john.g.heim > > _______________________________________________ > Blind-sysadmins mailing list > Blind-sysadmins(a)lists.hodgsonfamily.org > https://lists.hodgsonfamily.org/listinfo/blind-sysadmins

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.

sql 2014

Have any of you used SQL 2014 yet? IF so, what's the accessibility like? I need access to the usual things. 1. Can I read the results of updates and inserts. 2. Can I read the result grid view from a select? 3. Can I read the job viewer results? 4. Can I start a job at a specific test? 5. Can I create users and logins? 6. Can I modify agents such as the Email service?
