Hello, Has anyone had unfortunate cause to deal with a system infected by the FBI ransomware? If so, how did you eraticate that outbreak? I've just started preliminary reading on this and I've not seen the machine so I don't know how this infection hit it. Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks. Dave.

Re: [Blind-sysadmins] NVDA as part of Windows unattended setup?

example of this would be put nvda in the run once section of the winnt.sif by calling %systemdrive%\nvda\nvda.exe or c:\nvda\nvda.exe and then placing an already installed copy of nvda on the drive by putting nvda in the following folder on the install disk $oem$\nvda ----- Original Message ----- From: "Isaac" <bigikemusic(a)gmail.com> To: "Blind sysadmins list" <blind-sysadmins(a)lists.hodgsonfamily.org> Sent: Wednesday, November 07, 2012 3:54 PM Subject: Re: [Blind-sysadmins] NVDA as part of Windows unattended setup? > what about running an already installed nvda which would allow you to then > install nvda and other apps, and if you only wanted to install other apps > then when you delete the nvda folder from the users machine the nvda is > gone? > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "David Mehler" <dave.mehler(a)gmail.com> > To: "Blind sysadmins list" <blind-sysadmins(a)lists.hodgsonfamily.org> > Sent: Wednesday, November 07, 2012 3:21 PM > Subject: Re: [Blind-sysadmins] NVDA as part of Windows unattended setup? > > >> Hi, >> >> Right now for this install I'd like to do it for xp.

NVDA as part of Windows unattended setup?
by David Mehler 07 Nov '12

07 Nov '12

Hello, This might be a little off topic, but I was wondering if it was possible to install NVDA as part of a Windows unattended install? Ideally I'd like to have the desktop come up since I set my unattends to automatically log in at least once, and then either put in an external USB sound card or the local driver works. I'd like to pull up run and launch NVDA or do it with the keyboard shortcut, and have speech. Also, would like to get the sound volume jacked all the way up. Can any of this be done in an unattended install? Thanks. Dave.

remote vpn software, screen readers, and a hlp desk support position
by David Mehler 07 Nov '12

07 Nov '12

Hello, I've got the possibility of getting a Help Desk support position. They use a vpn software package called I think daymeware I doubt that's spelled right, and apparently the machines are tagged so all a tech has to do is enter that tag and get on to the box. This is for any call that requires remote work, simple stuff I can troubleshoot or use group policy or active directory if enabled. I was wondering if this vpn package was known and how well I could do the remote job with a screen reader? Thanks. Dave.

Hello, This might be a little off topic, but I was wondering if it was possible to install NVDA as part of a Windows unattended install? Ideally I'd like to have the desktop come up since I set my unattends to automatically log in at least once, and then either put in an external USB sound card or the local driver works. I'd like to pull up run and launch NVDA or do it with the keyboard shortcut, and have speech. Also, would like to get the sound volume jacked all the way up. Can any of this be done in an unattended install? Thanks. Dave.

Apple Mobile Configurater
by Barry Toner 07 Nov '12

07 Nov '12

Hi folks, I've just had a brief meeting with my manager. He has asked me if I'd be willing to take on an Apple project in work. We'll be rolling out iPads & iPhones to some employees. He's looked at Apple Mobile Configurator for building/pushing images/apps to IOS devices. Have any of you heard of /used this application ? If so how did it fly with Voiceover? He's talking about purchasing an Apple mini and leaving this on my desk with a KVM switch. Regards, Barry.

IIS Manager cannot verify whether the built-in account has access.
by Barry Toner 06 Nov '12

06 Nov '12

Hi folks, I'm afraid I'll probably be hitting you up allot for a wee while. Take comfort that I do bookmark things and I am also documenting the process of installing this Helpdesk as I go. I'm trying to prep the environment on my machine for nService. I've got lost in SQL land, so I'll come back to that in a bit. By reading the docs it looks like I basically install nSevice as a website and run it from my machine. To do this I found out I need to enable IIS, done. I've also copied the nService files into C:\Inetpub. I've been exploring IIS's control panel and added the path to the Helpdesk files. When I click on Test I'm getting the following, "The server is configured to use pass-through authentication with a built-in account to access the specified physical path. However, IIS Manager cannot verify whether the built-in account has access. Make sure that the application pool identity has Read access to the physical path. If this server is joined to a domain, and the application pool identity is NetworkService or LocalSystem, verify that <domain>\<computer_name>$ has Read access to the physical path. Then test these settings again." Looking online it now seems I'm being told that I need to create a Windows Account for IIS, and provide this Read Access to the path. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1522714/iis7-win7-make-sure-that-the- application-pool-identity-has-read-access-to-the This then re-directs me to the following Microsoft article for IIS v6, which I'm told should work for v7. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms998297.aspx on Windows 7, is there something different about our user account creation because we're on a domain? For example, when I hit up User Accounts on my workstation, and click on, Add. I'm asked for the username of the account I wish to create and the domain. I put in the domain name that I'm connected to and click OK. I'm then presented with, "The user CLANMIL.LOCAL.NET\nService could not be granted Standard user access because CLANMIL.LOCAL.NET\nService does not exist.". Further on from this once I've the user account created for IIS, how can I edit what it has read access to? Is this just the permissions under the Security tab for the C:\Inetpub folder? Ad it int here? Cheers, Barry. Barry Toner ICT Assistant ICT Department Clanmil Housing Northern Whig House 3 Waring Street Belfast BT1 2DX Tel: 02890 876000 Fax: 02890 876001
