Hi Lukasz, We already have some images up there. we have a win 2008 R2 WDS Server and we distribute Win 10 Version 1803 images so that should work pretty well. at the moment i wonder how should i pxe boot or boot so the pc receives the image.

Hi Simon, i was using WDS under Win Server 2008 r2 to deploy Windows 7 machines about a year ago, so some things below might have changed. The interface on the server side was pretty accessible and the only problematic part was actually capturing and then deploying the images. Ive used a boot.wim from Windows 10 dvd as my boot image in WDS. At the time it was necessary to use insider versions, because the build which was a stable version back then has no narrator included in the install image. From my experience it doesnt matter what version of Windows is being imaged and deployed as long as the architecture of the boot image matches the architecture of the system you want to deploy. The more problematic part was actually capturing an image, because when creating a capture image from Win 10 boot image there was no speech. Ive worked around that by booting standard boot image, starting narrator, pressing Shift+f10 to open a command prompt and launching capture wizard from there by typing WDSCapture.exe, If anything is unclear please ask Hope this helps and sorry for my English Lukasz On Thu, 9 Aug 2018 12:43:35 +0000 Eigeldinger Simon <simon.eigeldinger(a)hohenems.at> wrote: > Hi all, > > We have a WDS server where some images are stored for some of our computers. > is someone using wds as well on this list and could tell me how to use it as a blind person? > > Greetings and thanks, > Simon > _______________________________________________ > 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

Enabling memory integrity protection on Windows 10 Pro 1803
by Jason White 12 Aug '18

12 Aug '18

On the aforementioned Lenovo laptop (Windows 10 Pro 1803 with updates applied), I tried unsuccessfully to enable memory integrity protection in Windows Defender Security Center to improve over-all security. First, I discovered scripts on Lenovo's Web site that enabled me to change the UEFI (BIOS) settings from within Windows. https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/solutions/ht100612 This is much better than having to enlist help to change the firmware configuration. I enabled Intel virtualization support, then rebooted the machine and confirmed that virtualization was in fact enabled using System Information. I wanted virtualization anyway, so this was a desirable change on multiple grounds - not only the need to enable it for virtualization-based security. I then tried to enable memory integrity protection in Windows Defender Security Center. The resulting error message, presented as a notification, asserts: "Memory integrity can't be started. There may be an incompatability.. There may be an incompatability on your device.. . Received at 8:51 PM" I'm curious - has anyone else here tried it, and if so, with what results? I'm running JAWS 2018, although I have no reason to believe that it may be involved other than the fact that it uses its own video and braille display drivers. Various hardware drivers from their respective vendors are of course installed as well. For anyone who has enabled Memory Integrity Protection, have there been any adverse consequences?

Low Vision SysAdmin Setup
by Bekki . 03 Aug '18

03 Aug '18

Hi - My Dad is a sysadmin and recently diagnosed with macular degeneration. I was wondering if anyone could share helpful info about setting up a workspace specifically for low vision users (with central vision loss), best software to use, any particular glasses or other solutions that may help. Particularly with day to day tasks such as having to RDP into and maintain remote servers, reading + answering emails, etc. Curious also - has anyone had any experiences, good or bad, with using the Microsoft HoloLens or Samsung Odyssey as far as aiding with vision and working on remote systems, etc? Thanks!

letsencrypt with acme.sh
by David Mehler 31 Jul '18

31 Jul '18

Hello, Do we have anyone using acme.sh to issue letsencrypt wildcard certificates? If so, I'm wondering which one of these commands is right? The first is: acme.sh --issue --dns dns_api -d example.com -d '*.example.com' --ecc --keylength ec-256 --ocsp this seems like it's asking for a tld and then the same domain with a wildcard. Or is this one right? acme.sh --issue --dns dns_api -d '*.example.com' --ecc --keylength ec-256 --ocsp Thanks. Dave.

I haven’t DDWRT, but it might be possible to add a second IP address to the Rueter in the range the printer is in. Alias IP address. I seem to remember doing this using the command line IP addr add command. used Cheers Chris Turner Sent from mobile. > On 28 Jul 2018, at 11:41, Andrew Hodgson <andrew(a)hodgson.io> wrote: > > Hi, > > You may be able to do something with Arp on the clients but why on earth do you not want to change the printer's IP address?

networking, static printer, subnets, bridging, ddwrt
by David Mehler 28 Jul '18

28 Jul '18

Hello, I've factory reset my ddwrt router and configured it per request on a non-1 subnet specifically 192.168.200.0/24. In doing so I neglected to remember that my printer does not get it's IP via dhcp nor a dhcp reservation, it's statically assigned in this case my old subnet configuration of 192.168.1.200. My question is can I via a bridge or a vlan, set up ddwrt so that anyone on 200.0/24 can see the printer and when jobs are sent to it they go to that bridge/vlan and arrive at the printer for printing. Changing the printer interface is preferably not possible. Thanks. Dave.
