Re: setting username format in Microsoft exchange?

Hey Andrew, Thanks so much, it worked! My apologies,, I forgot to mention that I have a different domain set for the accepted domains in Exchange. Just one more question please? So I've successfully added the UPN suffix in AD, When I connect in outlook and add my email address and password and click next, outlook tries to authenticate but then comes back asking me to enter my credentials. I have to click on more choices, in the username, I add my email address and password and then all goes through. Would you perhaps know why I have to enter my credentials twice? Your help would really be much appreciated.

Hi, You should be able to log in via just the username part, but the best idea is to set a UPN that is the same as your email domain and then create a UPN to match the username of the email address. This is done automatically if you created your AD domain with the same domain as your email address, i.e, company.com, but if you used company.local you need to go through the steps of adding company.com as a trusted UPN in Active Directory and setting the users to use it. Hope this steers you in the right direction, Andrew. -----Original Message----- From: Zameer Mahomed <core7xx(a)gmail.com> Sent: 30 December 2018 07:50 To: 'Blind sysadmins list' <blind-sysadmins(a)lists.hodgsonfamily.org> Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] setting username format in Microsoft exchange? Hi Listers, Sorry for the somewhat vague subject. To those who have setup an on-premmiesis exchange server, How do you go about having a user accessing mails via outlook logon just using their email address and password? As it currently is, I have to connect using: Domain\username followed by the password. I'd like to authenticate with just the email address and password. I've googled, but can only find a way to change it for OWA and not outlook or any other client. Your help would be much appreciated.

Accessible backup solution?
by Zameer Mahomed 29 Dec '18

29 Dec '18

Hi Listers, Hope all are well. Firstly, I'd like to thank the people who replied to my question regarding accessibility of networking equipment, I've gone with a mix of Ubiquiti and mikrotik. As I continue with my lab, I have come to the point of where I have setup a few virtual machines and would like to back them up. Ideally, I'd like to manage the backups from one location and remotely if possible. I've heard of software like Veeam, Acronis, Backup Exec, DLO etc, but would like to know which backup software do you use with regard to accessibility? I've tried veeam, but it doesn't seem like the most pleasant interface to use. The agent on windows doesn't seem to bad though. I don't have any complicated setups, all these backups will be stored on a NAS. Your help would be much appreciated. Kind Regards

raspberry pi, kali linux, and re4son kernel
by David Mehler 26 Dec '18

26 Dec '18

Hello, I've got kali linux going on the official kali arm image raspberry pi 3 b + it's a nexmon image. My end goal is to get my external USB wireless adapter to work, it is an Alfa AWUS 036ACH it is supported by the rtl8112AU driver which is apparently not included in the nexmon image and thus far is proving hard to get working. I've heard that the re4son kernel has this and other drivers and will work with my card, thus far I've not ben able to get it going. Does anyone have this combination going and have any suggestions? Thanks. Dave.

Screen reader accessibility of Windows Sandbox
by Jason White 21 Dec '18

21 Dec '18

The forthcoming Windows Sandbox feature looks interesting, and I'm wondering whether it will be accessible with a screen reader - even if the user has to invoke a screen reader in the virtual environment. https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Windows-Kernel-Internals/Windows-Sand box/ba-p/301849

php stable version 7.2 or 7.3?
by David Mehler 14 Dec '18

14 Dec '18

Hello, To those who are running php in production environments, with 5.6 reaching EOL I'm having to upgrade. It looks from the php time line and releases page that 7.1 is nearly in the same boat. So I'm thinking either Php 7.2 or 7.3. Which of those are you running and why one over the other? Thanks. Dave.

I'm using Jaws with Outlook 2016 on Windows 10 to connect to Exchange at work and am not finding it at all sluggish, but using Jaws with Office 365 on Windows 7 at home where I have Outlook set up to use a POP account, it is very sluggish indeed. -----Original Message----- From: Timothy Spaulding <spaulding(a)icanbrew.com> Sent: 06 December 2018 20:20 To: Blind sysadmins list <blind-sysadmins(a)lists.hodgsonfamily.org> Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] Re: JAWS and Outlook very sluggish I'm seeing this myself and so I'll make sure we get this investigated. -----Original Message----- From: Troy Hergert <thergert(a)vision-forward.org> Sent: Thursday, December 6, 2018 3:06 PM To: Blind sysadmins list <blind-sysadmins(a)lists.hodgsonfamily.org> Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] Re: JAWS and Outlook very sluggish Its jaws 2019 up to date. -----Original Message----- From: Guerra Access Technology LLC | Stephen Guerra <gaccesstt(a)gmail.com> Sent: Thursday, December 6, 2018 2:03 PM To: 'Blind sysadmins list' <blind-sysadmins(a)lists.hodgsonfamily.org> Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] Re: JAWS and Outlook very sluggish Troy, What version of JAWS are you running and outlook 2016?

Two jaws users both noticed the same thing in my organization. Outlook moves a little bit better with nvda but not much. I have disabled add-ins for Skype for business, and Zoom video conferencing, but this is not helped. It takes about 4 seconds to open a message before jaws can begin reading it. Delays are also encountered when changing folders and browsing for files for attachments. I'm wondering if this is a screen reader issue or Office 365. Thanks. ### _______________________________________________ Blind-sysadmins mailing list -- blind-sysadmins(a)lists.hodgsonfamily.org To unsubscribe send an email to blind-sysadmins-leave(a)lists.hodgsonfamily.org _______________________________________________ Blind-sysadmins mailing list -- blind-sysadmins(a)lists.hodgsonfamily.org To unsubscribe send an email to blind-sysadmins-leave(a)lists.hodgsonfamily.org _______________________________________________ Blind-sysadmins mailing list -- blind-sysadmins(a)lists.hodgsonfamily.org To unsubscribe send an email to blind-sysadmins-leave(a)lists.hodgsonfamily.org _______________________________________________ Blind-sysadmins mailing list -- blind-sysadmins(a)lists.hodgsonfamily.org To unsubscribe send an email to blind-sysadmins-leave(a)lists.hodgsonfamily.org This e-mail expresses the opinion of the author and is not necessarily the view of the Council.

Text to speech for incoming call announcement on Cisco VoIP Phone CP8841
by Chris Nestrud 11 Dec '18

11 Dec '18

I'm using a Cisco VoIP phone model CP8841. We've enabled the TTS functionality, and it's working well other than that when I receive a call from an outside unknown caller, the phone announces "unknown caller" and does not provide the caller's number. Has anyone encountered this and perhaps found a workaround? Chris
