Lastpass.

Hello, Is anyone using Lastpass? I find the web UI to be really clunky. Also adding new items is not accessible as the drop downs aren't accessible to me. There are chrome plugins but these just dump you back to the web UI after logging in.

Thanks Andrew, I think that's what I will go with for those exact reasons. I did some tests last night with a fake account and it worked just as I expected. I agree I've heard of tenants getting really messy and people loosing track of all the external users and just what they have access to, but you're right in my case I don't have that many and can keep an eye on it. Thanks again.

I've seen these tenants become a bit messy with external users getting added over time with different users messing about with stuff like this on their own, however if you know these users are being added and with the scale of your tenant I don't think you need worry too much.

I’m working on a personal project with some people who do not have accounts in my Office 365 tenant, and their organization does not use Office 365 at all. . I want to start using Planner to track the tasks in this project, as I’m starting to see we need some task tracking to keep people on the same page. I’ll need to bring these people into Planner as guests, and I’m finding two ways to do that and was wondering which people who had done this seem to think was better. 1. Add them as guests in the underlying M365 group that Planner creates when making a plan. 2. Create a team in Microsoft Teams, add planner as a tab and then add the guest accounts through Teams. At first approach 1 is what I would aim for as it would give access to just what we need and at first glance seems to be the simplest. That said in reading through documentation I gather it may not be as simple as at first believed as there is manual permissions setup for some features to work properly, and there may be a higher than normal training curve for the external users as they will need to go to odd URLs in their web browser. On the other hand if I set it up through Teams, the permissions all get configured automagically, and they can access everything through the Teams client or Teams web site without having to worry about strange URLs. For me personally admin overhead aside both approaches would work the same as I can always get to Planner through the app or web site so I really don’t care, I was just wanting the approach that would be easiest for people all round, so was wondering if anyone has done this before and if they had a preference? Thanks.

got my vms and audio up and running
by Marvin Hunkin 04 Dec '20

04 Dec '20

Hi. Was able to set up my three vms in vm ware player. And then got the audio to work. And then installed nvda, windows server, did updates, set up the icons I wanted. Then change the computer names of all three vms. And now. Do I need to go in and manually change the ip 4 address. Need all three vms on the same network. So how do I do this. What do you do if you want a few servers or vms on the same network. How do you go about this. Will be researching this. Thanks.

using hyper v issues
by Marvin Hunkin 02 Dec '20

02 Dec '20

Hi. Have two issues using hyper v with narrator. When creating a vm, and then installing windows server 2019. Have not tried it with 2016. Narrator does not turn on, just hear caps lock on and off. And nvda does not turn on either. Also tried the audio end point builder and audio srv inside a vm, in windows server. Does not come on. Wish there was a way for narrator to detect if the client talk back to the server. Did try vm ware player, able to use the windows 10 talking installer. Did read the install screens for windows server 2019 essentials. But when it rebooted, no speech, and just the vm ware window. So no good. And virtual box kept chrashing when I tried to use it. So hyper v is built into windows 10 pro which I have. So for the most part it is accessible with jaws, nvda. So, any one got any scripts, work arounds, or how they get around it. Having to wait for sighted people to remote in to my machine, and then having to do this. Would like to set it up without sighted help. Microsoft has a gap in this space. Did give feedback on the user voice and also feeback hub if Microsoft reads my feedback. Unless you can direct me where I could contact the narrator accessibility team and also the windows server accessibility. Frustrated. Got 3 weeks to do two last practical assignments. And stressing out. Then every oen goes on vacation for a few weeks. Got till January 9 to complete my current course. If any one has had issues, being totally blind, how did they get speech, under hyper v virtual machine. Don't have access to a dedicated server. Remote connection manager, worked some times and connected, then would not do that. So just used the hyper v connection I had. And then when getting out of one of my vms, if I do a shutdown, does not go back to the host, totally chrashes my speech. If I disconnect, still get speech which is weird. Any ideas. Just frustrated Able to use nvda as don't have a jaws remote licence, going to purchase a jaws remote licence in 2021. Will beenrolling in the diploma of networking from http://www.upskilled.edu.au. Only blind student there online.. Marvin.

hyper v and audio
by Marvin Hunkin 30 Nov '20

30 Nov '20

Hi. Found the commands to turn on audio end point builder and the audio srv service. But noticed on trying to connect to a third domain, and only got two server running, ahd to turn the third server off, only got 8 gb ram, do have another 8 gb slot free on my vivo book laptop. Notice some times, even though got windows narrator and nvda set on, some times it does not speak, and just says caps lock on and off. Then it will then say the password field after the fourth or fifth reboot. Any ideas why. Using windows 10 pro 64 bit 2009. Thanks. Ps: intel I 7 32.3 or 2.4. ghz quad or dual core pro, up to 6 cores, 8 gb ram, 512 gb ssd. Marvin.

lost my audio on one server
by Marvin Hunkin 28 Nov '20

28 Nov '20

Hi. Was using windows server 2019, and on a second server, using windows narrator and nvda. Don't have a jaws remote licence. Now, did a domain controller and the wizard worked on server manager. Did a sign out and reboot. Would not give any speech when it rebooted. Just said input capture caps lock on and off. Then did a hard reboot. Then it said some thing about check points. Thought they were meaning reset or revert checkpoints. Did not realise. Clicked on continue, then reverted back to having the audio and not automatic. So have to wait till Monday for my trainer to set up the audio services again. Pity there's no script or setting where windows server or where narrator detects you have a server running, then gives audio back from the client to the server. And also no speech when doing a reboot, for a domain controller and any other tasks, that needs a reboot. Any one encountered this issue. Cannot use be my eyes or aira, as don't have a ios or android device. Only windows laptop. Any one , tried searching for a script or a power shell command. To run that you have to be in the server, then run it. Did try net start audiosv but did not work. Any work arounds. Annoying. If need to create servers in the future, no keyboard short cut, unless have then to memorise which is a pain. Marvin.r
