Greetings All, I recently got a promotion to a new position at my company. I am the new I.T. Systems Administrator II. We have almost 100 users and are still growing. I have a decent budget to work with and I am considering getting something for managing tickets, installation of software and inventory just to name a few. Also a MDM will be very helpful. Also to add I've built an Active Directory Domain with 3 DC's 1 of which is at a different physical location. I am using GPO to their full potential except Microsoft wants us to move to Windows 10 enterprise to gain the rest of the features. One option I am looking at is Manage Engine. I am primarily a JAWS user so accessibility is of much importance. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks Kindly, Billy

Hello everyone: We're only three weeks from CSUN, and my team will be present again this year along with many others from Microsoft. If you are curious about the more general Microsoft presents at CSUN, you can learn more about available sessions here<https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/accessibility/2018/02/02/csun-2018/>. However, I wanted to extend an offer to any list members who are going to CSUN and wanted to chat with the Cloud+Enterprise team over lunch, please respond to me offlist and we'll set something up for Wednesday afternoon. Basically my team covers pretty much everything that's not Office, Windows, Xbox or Bing related. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi, We have MPLS on some parts here especially to the kindergardens and the tourism department. Those have not that much bandwith.

Yes, over LAN, it's the usual gigabit speed. Over wireless, I'm guessing the access points are at N capable speeds. I haven't thought about NVDA copying the profile over. I've reduced it now to 2mb When you talk of a delay, I presume this is over users using vpn to login?

Hi, I belive the computers are connected to the same network with a high speed connection? I also have a delay but that is with some computers are outside of our network which take longer to come up because of the slower connection. you also need to take in mind that nvda needs to copy over the whole profile which is sitting on the network share. so if you have a lot of plugins in there that can take a significant time. I have gotten mine down to around 1-2 mb. i just have the remote plugin and the virtual revision plugin in that profile.

For those who use it, have you experienced this behavior? So I have my prefered config on a network share, where users run NVDA which loads the config from the share, which in turn points to my computer acting as the server. Sometimes the remote connection is established immediately whilst most of the time I have to wait a few minutes or sometimes even longer. As you can imagine, this is really awkward when helping users. Is there anyway in which I can improve the time it takes to connect? I don't notice any delays when accessing or copying data from the share. Any help would be much appreciated.

Re: [Blind-sysadmins] accessible open source webmail clients
by Eigeldinger Simon 28 Feb '18

Hi, Last year or so i tried roundcube when they had still a emo somewhere and it was pretty accessible. it had some weird cosmetic bugs but it was useable. Was able to receive and send mail. I tried installing horde once but i failed to do so. Seems this is a little bit more tricky to install. I also had the feeling it had a lot of dependencies you need to install and configure first.

I am hoping this has changed, because roundcubemail and horde webmail are the only two I know. Any more suggestions welcome or if anyone has experience with these two i'd love to know that as well.
