Accessible MDM?
by Anatoliy Shudrya 23 Jan '18

23 Jan '18

Hi, Any recommendations for accessible MDM? I have tried Meraki, but the features are limited. I have also tried G Suite for Education MDM solution and it's not very accessible. If you manage mobile devices with a screen reader, what solution do you use? Kind Regards, Anatoliy

Re: [Blind-sysadmins] OneNote: How to convert notebooks into something more readable like HTML?
by Eigeldinger Simon 23 Jan '18

Hi, I also have googled before as well but haven't found nothing useful. I played with the export feature to export the notebooks. though when you export to pdf it kind of does something though when it seems to be finished it hasn't created any file. You seem also to be able to convert each note to html or doc though you can do that with single notes and not with a whole notebook. we have over 200 notes so that would take a while and some info changes frequently.

OneNote: How to convert notebooks into something more readable like HTML?
by Eigeldinger Simon 23 Jan '18

23 Jan '18

Hi all, Our people over here have converted all documentation into OneNote. The .one and .onetoc2 files are residing on a network share. the main notebook also contains a bunch of sub notebooks as well. The .one files are the notes which also seem to contain more than one note per file. Anyone knows how to convert the whole stuff into HTML or something more readable than the OneNote format? We have OneNote 2010 and OneNote 2016. Both versions seem not all that accessible. Greetings and thanks, Simon

Exams again
by Andrew Hodgson 23 Jan '18

23 Jan '18

Hi, This is an annoying one. I was asked to do some exams by my employer a few months ago. MS or the exam company now let people do the exams remotely on their own machines, but you have to have a webcam set up to ensure you are not cheating etc. I thought this was good as I could get my own reader to come and read the questions, I know they wouldn't work with a screen reader, but it would be better than the test centre stuff. However if you need any sort of special requirements, you can't use this new system and have to request it through the test centrr as usual. This causes issues as the exams are on free vouchers provided by Microsoft and I already know that the test centre aren't keen on either me providing my own readers or getting readers in because they are just effectively providing the room. Anyone came across this and was able to do the exam at home with a reader? Thanks. Andrew.

win10 update fail
by David Mehler 23 Jan '18

23 Jan '18

Hello, I've got a machine well it's an owner of same that is driving me insane. It's a win10 1607 box that is failing it's 1709 update. The machine using update assistant successfully downloads, verifies, and begins installation. On the first reboot installation continues, then stops at between 20 and 25% changes are reverted and the amachine reboots back in to win10. The update obviously fails. It is now to the point where the update comes daily and is not stopped, this is one reason why I don't like the new win10 update plan if there's an issue you face it repeatedly and can not defer. In an effort to halt the update until I can get a fix I disabled windows update, (didn't work 10 restarted the service), disabled windows update and set the failure action on the service to do nothing, (ditto restarted), removed the windows 10 update assistant and the win10 privacy settings update prereqs for 1709 update (these updates were put back and the system atempts the update at least once a day more now). I'd appreciate any suggestions. This machine is not running out of storage space, has a 1 tb drive. It's running a UEFI setup, so booting by thumb drive is not doable. Unless someone knows if a gigabyte motherboard ga-990fx has a boot menu and where the usb option is. I'd appreciate any help, some urgency! Thanks. Dave.
