Teams woes on a new laptop install
by Andrew Hodgson 27 Jan '24

27 Jan '24

Hi. I'm a bit stuck at the moment with an issue on Teams. The company I work for has recently been taken over by a large corporate and this morning they wiped my laptop in the expectation I would reformat it with a clean install and provision it with their InTune. This seemed to go well at first, I installed Windows 11 23H2 from an ISO I downloaded, and the provisioning was successful. They are using the BeyondTrust Privilege Manager to stop people installing software and even though I have extra perms to install I am still prompted. Getting JFW 2024 installed was a bit of an issue. This also does some other lockdown of the system but unsure what and how it is locked down. The main issue though is that the InTune installed Teams on the device, and when I go into Teams I get absolutely no speech in any part of the app. I have tried several things to rectify this without issue. Its Teams Classic version 1.6.00.28554 that is installed. The version of Office they have installed is 16130.20810 which is from the 2302 semi-annual enterprise channel. Has anyone seen this issue where Teams is completely unusable with JFW? At this point I'm not sure if it's a problem with this BeyondTrust software or something in Teams, but its going to cause me a bit of a headache next week if I can't get this resolved quickly. Thanks. Andrew.

Losing focus in terminal all the time
by Andrew Hodgson 21 Dec '23

Hi. Latest JFW and Windows 11 builds on multiple machines, I lose speech output in the terminal or command prompt when navigating to and from the window. What I mean by this is I am not hearing the output of commands or what I am typing into the window. This is really starting to stress me out now and I can't believe I am the only person experiencing it. Its been happening since the beginning of the year since a Windows update I think. Any suggestions? Thanks. Andrew.

Hello, Does anyone have an iScsi server going on a Raspberry Pi? I'm trying to do so and I'm very likely not doing something right even though no command errors but the win10 initiator won't find the target via discovery. Thanks. Dave.
