Active Directory auditing
by Troy Hergert 27 Apr '16

27 Apr '16

Does anyone know of a tool, native to Server 2012 or third party that would allow me to generate a basic logon/logoff report by user? My organization isn't really having any issue since we are very flexable with people using VPN connections and working from home. HIPAA compliance requires that we at least be able to pull a report when necessary. Any recommended tools out there? Thanks.

Hello friends, I Am a new member to this list. We are using SCCM at work after being a Novell structured organisation for a long time. I Am trying to teach myself the SCCM admin console so that I can check machines, send virus checks and things from the console, is anyone able to comment on accessability of these functions? I Have tried the console but it seems very complicated initialy but to be fair, all new things do really when you are using a screen reader. MNany thanks in anticipation for any help.

Re: [Blind-sysadmins] Splunk accessibility

Chris: Really good to hear Splunk is pretty accessible. I won't be the primary admin, that's our security team' job, so when you say for a searcher 95% of the web interface is accessible, can you elaborate, what works and what should be avoided? Thanks.

Virtual machine network, conflict with screen readers
by Paul O'Rahilly 15 Apr '16

15 Apr '16

Hi there I have built a network of three virtual machines running on my home network, all on my laptop. Each vm has a static ip address and is running a separate application in a Ubuntu Linux environment, . Orca is enabled in each. My laptop is windows 7, running JAWS The virtual machines are bridged. JAWS is turned on when I am working inside the virtual machines. So I am getting feedback from both screen readers simultaneously. Problem 1 I wrote a .bat file to start up the machines automatically. echo Starting virtual machine . Press Enter pause "c:\Program Files\Oracle... the batch file is running successfully, and the machine starts up. But, I had expected the screen reader to read the echo command string. It doesn't. It does read out the c:\...etc line, however. How can I get the echo string to read out ? Problem 2 >From inside the virtual machine, There appears to be a conflict between screen readers. For example, while editing a file in the nano editor, Ctrl+x should exit the editor. However, this sometimes fails, and I get the audio feedback "There is nothing to select", as if JAWS has taken over from orca, and is trying to copy text.. Perhaps you guys have come across these "chesnuts" in the past, and can offer a solution. Thanks, Paul

speculating on Hyper-V containers and accessibility
by Katherine Moss 14 Apr '16

14 Apr '16

Hi, Hopefully, considering Microsoft's new fantastic stance on the subject of accessibility, this new marvelous technology will be taken into account. I'd think it would work, because the application deployed in the container would more than likely be web applications. At the current moment, I've got all web sites on my IIS server deployed on one server, though I eventually want to make each site run under its own container to achieve even greater isolation. Do you folks see any potential issues with accessibility with screen readers? You think it's going to invoke the same nightmare that VDI does?
