Hi, There are multiple approaches to this: You do need to have JFW installed on the servers you are going to use it on with the Remote Desktop feature, but there are ways of making this more appealing to the IT staff. In ActiveDirectory, you can install the remote administration kit, which installs all AD tools onto your local machine. You then need to be assigned the correct permissions in AD, but we do this all the time for the helpdesk guys, to allow them to change passwords etc. This is actually far more secure than allowing connections to a server. Not sure about the Citrix part, but if you do need to install JFW onto the servers, I would advise installing it onto maybe one or two machines, which have access to ActiveDirectory and Citrix remote consoles. Hope this helps, Andrew. ________________________________________ From: jaws-uk-bounce(a)freelists.org [jaws-uk-bounce(a)freelists.org] On Behalf Of Brian Dalton [brian_dalton(a)eircom.net] Sent: 20 May 2009 12:15 To: jaws UK; Jaws US; Blind Network list Subject: [jaws-uk] terminal services Hi, Appologies for the cross posting, I am a helpdesk analyst, using jaws version 10, supporting a number of users in an Airline.

by Dave 17 May '09

Hello, Does anyone know of a utility where an xp or vista machine can read a drive formatted with Freebsd's UFS2 filesystem? I've got a drive, with a dead machine and need to get some data off of it. Thanks. Dave. David Mehler (MCSA 2003, MCP, Network+, A+) dave.mehler(a)gmail.com

Everything should be back up now

Hi, As subject says, everything is now working, let me know if there are any issues. Under the hood we are now on Ubuntu Jaunty on different hardware, and we are using Postfix instead of Exim as the MTA underlying the lists. Hopefully it should all work. Thanks. Andrew.

Hi. At the moment, when I need to perform maintenance on the staff computers, such as running disk cleanup, removing cookies, or defrag, I have to go to each computer and perform it manually. Does anyone know of a way to automate this? Thanks Phil

strange message
by Philip 21 Apr '09

21 Apr '09

I recently added a client computer to the domain. Now, whenever the person logs on, a message pops up that says fAIL Note the case of the letters. there is absolutely nothing else on the screen. I have performed numerous searches, but none of the search engines will let me do a case sensitive search. Does anyone have any ideas where this message might be coming from, and how to eliminate it? Thanks. Phil
