Hello, My name is David, and I am working towards a MCSA in server 2012r2. I have fully prepared for 70-410, and hopefully will be taking the exam in the first or second week of August if Pearson properly schedules it. If any of you guys have taken it in the recent past can you throw any tips at me when it comes to working with a reader? Cheers David Thomas Email:david.thomas@davidthetechguy.com Mobile:0432814994

NVDA Remote Relay?
by Mobeen Iqbal 04 Jul '15

04 Jul '15

Hello Everyone. Please Forgive me if this has been asked before or if this is off topic, but i've only just subscribed to this list. With the recent release of NVDA Remote, I thought i'd investigate the possibility of setting up my own relay server for personal use, so I can administer multiple machines around my home. however, there's no mention of the relay server in the client documentation. The only implication is that 1 is running at NVDARemote.com. i'd much prefer to host my own so I'm not relying on third party connections etc. Does anyone have any more information about the server component? It would be a real shame if they didn't release it on security grounds. surely it would only be a risk if the connection was first specifically set up/initiated? i would've asked on their mailing list, but its unclear how you subscribe and seems to be for announcements only. any help would be much appreciated. Kind Regards, Mo.

Accessibility of certain security and monitoring products
by Chris Nestrud 03 Jul '15

03 Jul '15

Hello all, I would appreciate comments from anyone who has used any of the following security-related products. I am particularly interested in their accessibility or lack thereof and any workarounds that you had to develop to get things done. Links included for the curious. Nessus Scanner By Tenable: http://www.tenable.com/products/nessus Web interface works best using NVDA and Firefox; reports can be exported as csv. Cisco Security Monitoring, Analysis, and Response System (MARS): http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/security/security-monitoring-analysis- response-system/index.html HP ArcSight SIEM: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/software-solutions/siem-security-information-event- management/ NfSen: http://nfsen.sourceforge.net/ Unsure of accessibility; other CLI tools such as nfdump are available for intercepting and extracting netflow data. TippingPoint Security Management System: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/software-solutions/software.html?compURI=1344453#.U 95ick10yig Nagios - The Industry Standard in IT Infrastructure Monitoring: http://www.nagios.org Uses Perl or shell scripts for plugins, unsure of accessibility of web interface. Thanks in advance for any information, Chris

Current accessibility status with Cisco jabber
by Mario Percinic 02 Jul '15

02 Jul '15

Hi all. When researching the topic i found the following link about Cisco jaber accessibility from 2014 which points to the discussion on this list: https://lists.hodgsonfamily.org/pipermail/blind-sysadmins/2014-June/004245.… However i saw that possible accessibility fixes has bean changed during 2015. So my question is, if jaws scripts work now well with Cisco jabber, is it possible to read now status of the call logs? If yes, can someone send the jaws scripts for the app privately to me. I need the info asap for my gf who works in the Eu parliament. Thanks. -- Mario Percinic Accessibility consultant mario.percinic(a)gmail.com skype: acousticman Twitter: @MarioPercinic gsm: +385922630259

Which program do people recommend for terminal sharing?
by Jen Bottom 29 Jun '15

29 Jun '15

Hi, One of the products I support lives on Linux boxes, so I have been exploring the possibility of using something like 'tmux' or 'tmate', for times when it is useful to see what the customer themselves is doing on their box as they do it. So far I have found 'tmate' ok, but 'speak' does seem to like reading out bits of the session from before. reading up from the bottom of the window seems to work ok though. Also, if I create the 'tmate' session on my Mac all is good, but if I connect to someone els's session, VO seems to get very hung up on telling me about light box drawings. Any thoughts on the best solutions for terminal sharing are very much appreciated. Cheers, Jen.

Setting up virtual machines via the command line?
by Jen Bottom 18 Jun '15

18 Jun '15

Hi, Sometimes if I am working from home it would be good to set up a VM on my machine at work, so it's there when I go to the office, and I don't have to copy it and take it in on a USB drive etc. I'm currently using a Mac with VMWare fusion. Is there a tool to set up and run VMs from the command line, that I could install on my Mac and use after SSHing in? Cheers, Jen.
