Moving quickly between servers in server manager.
by Darragh Ó Héiligh 18 Apr '20

18 Apr '20

Is there something I'm missing? How can I move quickly between servers in server manager? I'm trying to administer several remote desktop servers and I'm really finding it hard to do this from one central administration interface as it doesn't seem possible to easily jump between servers in the server manager UI. Thanks. Note, I could be missing something really obvious. I have been at this computer for nearly 24 hours as a service just died on me yesterday at 1:37pm.

heard this today. Consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds; unless you are a computer nerd in which case it is more like a solar. A rare Dungeons and Dragons slash computer nerd joke. -- John G. Heim, jheim(a)math.wisc.edu, 608-263-4189

email server being contrary
by David Mehler 12 Apr '20

12 Apr '20

Hello, This is to anyone who has setup and operates their own email server rather than relying on a cloud provider. If you do can you email me privately? I've got an email server that is being contrary. It runs Dovecot for Imap, Postfix for Smtp, apache as webserver, and roundcube as an email frontend. The short version is about two days ago about the same time as I put in the google two factor authentication plugin for roundcube the latest version of Chrome and just found out Firefox latest will no longer log in. I don't see anything in the logs it's as if there is no login atempts at all. The problem I am having with this and the contrary part of this is that IE11 works just fine, logs in great. It is quite prplexing. Please suggestions welcome. Thanks. Dave.

determining power supply output
by David Mehler 07 Apr '20

07 Apr '20

Hello, I'm trying to put a new power supply in a computer. I'll spare the details but basically I try to put in a new 500W and it doesn't work, along with the three other ones I've tested that are known good. I can get just one to work with this box, apparently it's tricky, it's an hp desktop and I'm wondering if the amps are not right? Anyway, I need to know if it's possible for me to determine how many wats the working supply is putting out? Sighted help doesn't see anything on the back of the supply indicating that and I don't have a talking multimeter. Is there another way to determine this information? Thanks. Dave.

Hi Darragh: I haven't seen any changes, what version of server is this on and what keyboard shortcuts in particular are you seeing issues with?

CHM file links in Server 2016 & 2019
by george＠techno-vision.co.uk 05 Apr '20

05 Apr '20

As many of you may know, we work closely with Duxbury Systems and their Braille software. We are also involved in authoring the Help system, which obviously must be fully accessible. For that we use Flare from MadCap software, which allows output in various formats in addition to regular *.chm. In the course of checking the network version with Windows Server 2019, we discovered that a link to download a required network component, a small *.msi file, would fail. However, the link works perfectly well in Windows 10. Moreover, in Server 2019, if one copies the link from the Help file, and pastes it into IE11, it also works. Tried the same link in Server 2016, and again failed from the Help file, but worked when copied and pasted into IE11. Next was to test other downloads, which did NOT have a dot msi extension from the exact same location, but including a zipped file of the worrisome msi. All but the zip file downloaded. Illustrated the problem on-line with the Helpfile developer. They are baffled. Does anyone know if these versions of Server have some inbuilt download file limitations?
