VMware Horizon Client
by Jared Stofflett 28 Jan '20

28 Jan '20

I'm a software developer and am interviewing at a company that uses VMware Horizon Client to provide virtual desktops where development is done. Looking at the VPAT did not fill me with confidence that this is something I could use. Does anyone have experience using the client to connect to Windows machines using either NVDA or Jaws as a screen reader?

Hi Ibraam, I don't understand why you want to have the live media on the hd. whats the sense of that? that you could use the cd drive? You also might be interested in using a USB Stick that contains the live media plus a persistent partition to save programs and documents.

Re: Unable to access a Asus router web ui

If the router supports OpenWRT, you could install that firmware and then configure everything via a Web interface or with an ssh connection on the command line.

Hi Ibraam, I don't know. though you might try it. But first backup the PC before you touch anything or try it on a spare pc if you have one around. Also the command that Jason provided might be useful under linux to change the boot order.

Office 365 2 factor authentication
by Troy Hergert 14 Jan '20

14 Jan '20

Hello, I'm having difficulty in the office 365 admin center. I have been unable to turn on multi factor authentication for users with my screen reader. I know where the settings are located and I can bring up the users page but there seems to be no way a screen reader can find the controls to a enable or enforce 2 factor authentication. I use jaws with Internet explorer. In the admin center, I go to active users, more settings, multi-factor authentication setup, click the check box for a user. But then there is no way to locate the enable or enforce controls. Has anyone been able to manage this feature in office 365 with a screen reader? Thanks. ### Troy

Fwd: [Special] [nvda] The Status of NVDA Remote and NVDA 2019.3 - The "Last Word" until there's New Information

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Special] [nvda] The Status of NVDA Remote and NVDA 2019.3 - The "Last Word" until there's New Information Datum: Sun, 12 Jan 2020 10:03:29 -0800 Von: Brian Vogel <britechguy(a)gmail.com> Antwort an: nvda(a)nvda.groups.io An: nvda(a)nvda.groups.io *The Status of NVDA Remote and NVDA 2019.3* : The latest information on NVDA Remote was discussed, at length, in the earlier topic NVDA remote ( https://nvda.groups.io/g/nvda/topic/nvda_remote/69323538?p=,,,20,0,0,0::rec… ) , which can be reviewed in the NVDA Group Archive by activating the link given. The single message with the greatest detail regarding the current status of NVDA Remote was this one by Joseph Lee ( https://nvda.groups.io/g/nvda/message/68245 ). The current NVDA remote will only work with NVDA up through the NVDA 2019.2 release. When any major news about NVDA Remote becomes available you may be assured that it will be announced here. Until and unless that happens, if you must have access to NVDA remote you will need to stay on an NVDA release that is earlier than NVDA 2019.3. There is currently no projected date for getting NVDA Remote functioning with NVDA 2019.3 and later, but the need is recognized. You can find contact information for the NVDA Remote developers at the bottom of the NVDA Remote Access ( https://nvdaremote.com/ ) Home Page. Search for the link, “Christopher Toth and Tyler Spivey,” which is a mailto link for the developers. Questions regarding NVDA Remote should be directed to them unless the functionality were to be integrated into NVDA itself. I have previously stated that I will lock any topic on NVDA Remote until or unless something changes, so this topic is now locked. I am begging the membership at large to simply "watch this space" for updated information once it becomes available rather than continuing to churn out topic after topic regarding NVDA Remote.

Farbar Recovery Scan Tool
by Darren Brewer 12 Jan '20

12 Jan '20

Hi list After looking through some old sys admin emails I came across a mention of this tool and decided to have a look at what it could do. Both malwarebytes and bleeping computer had download links so decided to download the 32 bit version from the latter. I mostly use my Lenovo thinkpad, but thought I would give the tool a try on an old Asus laptop which I recently upgraded to windows 10. The downloaded file was called FRST.exe. Was just about to rename the file when windows defender popped up with an alert that the file was infected with a ransom ware trojan. Namely. Win32/Bomitag.D!ml. Obviously i immediately removed the threat, but am not sure if this was a false positive as the tool is supposed to recognise ransomware so I am wondering if it contained signatures of ransomware which windows defender may have mistakenly identified. The Asus laptop has nothing on it as it was a clean install of windows 10, however I was using my Lenovo thinkpad when I downloaded this alleged infected file and it has access to my i cloud drive and WD my cloud NAS. Thanks to windows Defender I did not execute the tool or god knows what it might have encrypted. Have googled to see if there are any reports of this tool being infected, but could find nothing, which makes me wonder if it was a real trojan or a false positive. Has anyone else encountered this kind of behaviour from windows defender? This is the first time I have ever encountered ransomware or indeed any kind of trojan for many many years. Thanks Darren. Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
