And if so, has audio been disabled, when installing via windows narrator or does it still need sighted help when you cannot see and tried the cmdapproach, but still does not work.,

Security. Open conversation among system administrators?
by Darragh Ó Héiligh 13 Apr '21

13 Apr '21

Good afternoon, Security is a huge concern for me at the moment. Two institutions in Ireland were targeted with Ryuk over the past few weeks. I have no doubt that there are malicious acters targeting the institution I work for right now. I was wondering if a few of you would be up for a conversation via Zoom or Teams in the coming days. I can explain what we have done and what we are continuing to do to protect ourselves. You can do the same. Some of what we are doing might overlap but potentially we all might get a few new ideas. My infrastructure might be considered legacy compared to some. I'm still using on-prem systems for the most part. But I have some cloud based services as well. All system admins / architects would be welcome. Perhaps Wednesday at 10pm gmt? I don't know what that is in other time zones. But it's probably around 6pm eastern.

Re: MMC always crashing on Win 10, Server 2016 and 2019
by Ryan Shugart 12 Apr '21

12 Apr '21

Hi: Back in my sysadmin days, MMC crashes were very common, this isn't new to Windows 10, this has happened for me ever since Windows Vista. Back then I was using Window-Eyes as my screen reader, and whenever I opened Event Viewer, selected a log to view from the tree and tabbed into the list of events, I'd get MMC freezing up with a message that a snap-in was taking too long to respond. When I closed MMC and restarted things worked normally but I just got in the habit of expecting MMC to crash and needing to relaunch it. Event Viewer was the place where this happened the most regularly but I also saw it in a few other consoles, never the AD Users and Computer snap-in though but back when SCCM used the MMC to present its UI it happened all the time there too. So I wonder if what you're seeing isn't new but something that's been a problem in MMC for well over 10 years now?

I don't know if that also happens with JAWS. It happens regularly in WSUS, Event viewer and other tools that use MMC. Basically just navigating and viewing the events in event viewer brings it down and I need to kill the task. It at least happens under various versions of Windows 10, Server 2016 and 2019. This bug exists for a longer time now. I guess I reported it a few months already. Anyone knows what the bug is and if it will be fixed? Or is there a workaround i can use? Am I the only sysadmin who has that bug?

Hi everyone: I just checked with the Enterprise Disability Answerdesk and they are tracking the issues and are going to do a follow up tomorrow. Andrew, can you please send an email to edad(a)microsoft.com with your specific issues just so we can confirm we have everyone's issues tracked and add you as an additional user having problems with this product?

Blind Makers Group?
by John G Heim 07 Mar '21

07 Mar '21

Anybody know of a group for blind makers? Any interest in starting such a group if no such group currently exists? I am currently working on a project to create an accessible D&D module. The learning experience has been absolutely fascinating. I am creating a dungeon map by coding it by hand in postscript. I plan on converting the postscript to a format for a 3D printer. Once i learn how to do all this efficiently, I figure I can start making 3D maps for conventions and the like. I am going to help organize a convention for guide dog users in San Francisco in 2022. I am hoping to supply a 3D map of the hotel floor plan. I'd also like to get into home automation, robotics, etc. I'm already into woodworking. I think it would be cool to have a group for people who are into stuff like that. -- John G. Heim; jheim(a)math.wisc.edu; 608-263-4189
