Re: [Blind-sysadmins] Active Directory Administrative center
German:
What specifically are you trying to get to to find out? I agree that in general, the AD administrative center is not accessible with any screen reader, JAWS or otherwise. Anything you can do in the ADAC is possible in Powershell, that’s what I used to enable the AD recycle bin last year. Other things can also be accessed through ADSIEdit directly, I used that method to set a specific password policy earlier this year, but that’s doable through Powershell too.

Hello all, wonder if anyone has any advice for navigating through this. It's a bit confusing. I know what I want to get to but can't seem to get there reliably or at all. Using Jaws17 if it matters at all. I'm looking to get to the password logs for particular users. Don't seem to have that option in AD computers and users. Administrative center seems to have more useful options but can't seem to get around it very well. Is this something that is easier for a PowerShell script?
Wanted to get the collective thoughts and views

I wanted to get to password logs for specific users since I've been needing to look at those and I'm growing tired of asking someone else to look for me. We have users that keep locking their account and they of course insist that they are not doing it.
Not familiar with ADSIEdit.
Thank you
German
