Hi Katherine, I take it that the machine I use to connect to the VHD has to be a Windows box? Currently my primary machine is a Mac, but I do have a bunch of Windows VMs that I have provisioned to come up with NVDA, using Vagrant. Also it's probably not an issue to get a second no thrills box to run Windows for the purpose of running/connecting to the VHD for LDAP. FYI I am interested in *nix setups as well, as not all or our customers are AD users. Cheers, Jen! On 2/5/18, Katherine M. Moss via Blind-sysadmins <blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org> wrote:
You're easiest method would be to download a VHD from the Microsoft evaluation center that has Windows already installed. You can use powershell Direct in order to get a network connection to it, enable RDP (simplest way is to use the Boxstarter module's cmdlet "enable-remote desktop", and the use your workstation's remote server administrative tools to load either ADSI Edit or Active Directory Users and Computers. You would have to install ADDS on the server first, which is self-explanitory, and plus, Microsoft has a wealth of documentation on it. The info you got concerning screen readers only working over remote desktop on both sides, is, unfortunately correct.

Hi,
Firstly apologies in advance for some of these questions.
I am very new to LDAP/AD setup and administration.
Background: I work for a company who have a couple of different LDAP/AD integrations, depending on the product.
We are currently buying up other companies/products, and they sometimes come with their own LDAP/AD integrations.
Recently the main person for LDAP knowledge in our team left to join IT, and I found my self for some reason offering to skill up on LDAP/AD.
The problem: Most of the cases we get relating to LDAP, seem to result on the TSE getting on the customer's system via WebEx etc, to look at their tree, and other aspects of their configuration.
There is some worry that I will not be able to do this, as there is not currently a remote desktop solution that works without the customer having to install a screen-reader.
If I am wrong about this BTW then please post and let me know.
For Linux boxes there is tmate etc, but I have found nothing like that for Windows.
Also it is good to have a dump of the data, in case someone else takes over the case later on.
So, I am looking for some useful commands that will dump the LDAP/AD tree info, so I can look at it with my screen reader/braille display.
Also, I have looked in to setting up LDAP for test purposes.
I want to use a Vagrant box or Docker image, but the implementations I saw in the past used puppet etc and looked fairly heacy.
A lot of the tutorials I have looked at suggest to use the gui PHP admin tool.
If anyone could point me to a command-line based resource for simple LDAP setup to get me started that would be great!
Cheers, Jen!
