Microsoft Teams losing focus
by Andrew Hodgson 05 May '20

05 May '20

Hi, Is anyone else finding they are losing focus in Microsoft Teams using JFW? I am getting it more often now where pressing tab in the Teams chat window gets no response, eventually I do land in a text box but as soon as I tab out of that it goes back to silence. I had this yesterday in the middle of an incident and had to do weird combinations using the mouse and copying and pasting chat messages to the clipboard which was no fun. Any suggestions? Thanks. Andrew.

Re: JAWS ANO365 admin centers

Darragh: I'm sorry you're having issues with the O365 admin interface, I am able to get what I need done using JAWS and Edge Chromium, but agree the UI can be very confusing especially if you don't need to go into the admin interface much. I recently had to mess with the licensing on my personal tenant and while I got what I needed done the UI was laid out in a very confusing way. I've said this before, but everyone having problems with this, please email edad(a)microsoft.com if you haven't already. We need to get these bugs open for the O365 team, and the only way we can impress upon them that this is a problem is to get them user feedback. So don't hesitate and don't hold back. Make sure EDAD knows your frustrations. I'm really glad you are having a good experience, on the other hand, with Windows Admin Center, I've been personally working with that team quite a bit, and they still have some bugs to clean up, but honestly that product has come a long way from where it was a few years ago and I'm glad to hear the feedback from a customer, we don't hear much about that product.

I use the various Microsoft portals daily and it annoys me to the point of rage the keyboard acrobatics that are required. Menus that can be expanded don't say. Some navigation is through a list view, some is through a tree view, some is through standard links. Sometimes buttons are incorrectly marked as tabs, the list goes on and on. But then Microsoft do really well in other areas. Such as the clean UI for the Windows admin centre. I just wish there was consistency. -----Original Message----- From: Andrew Hodgson <andrew(a)hodgson.io> Sent: Monday 27 April 2020 4:54 p.m. To: Mailing list for blind system administrators <blind-sysadmins(a)lists.hodgsonfamily.org> Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] Re: JAWS ANO365 admin centers Hi, Just tested in latest Chrome and Chromium Edge: Go to admin.microsoft.com and log in. You are now in the admin portal of Microsoft 365, use down arrow and when you hear users etc press enter to go into the menu. You can now cursor up and down through the menu and expand the items as required, although it doesn't tell you whether it can be expanded, once you expand the item by hitting enter it will tell you its been expanded. At the bottom of the menu is a show more option which gives you a new menu, in there you can go into all admin centers. Once you do this you need to tab out of the menu where you can then find the link to the admin center you want. Hope this helps. Andrew. -----Original Message----- From: Troy Hergert <thergert(a)vision-forward.org> Sent: 27 April 2020 16:37 To: Mailing list for blind system administrators <blind-sysadmins(a)lists.hodgsonfamily.org> Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] JAWS ANO365 admin centers Hi timmothy, This is Troy from the blind sys admins list.

Map drive to 1 drive
by Troy Hergert 27 Apr '20

27 Apr '20

Hi all, Has anyone needed to map network drives to your staff's personal one drive folder or their OneDrive for business folders? I need to do this for all users. After googling it, I found a utility called the onedrivemapper which contains a power shell script. I'm not good with power shell so I'm not sure if this is the appropriate way to accomplish this. Has anyone else had to map drives to OneDrive for your employees? Thanks. ###

Moving quickly between servers in server manager.
by Darragh Ó Héiligh 18 Apr '20

18 Apr '20

Is there something I'm missing? How can I move quickly between servers in server manager? I'm trying to administer several remote desktop servers and I'm really finding it hard to do this from one central administration interface as it doesn't seem possible to easily jump between servers in the server manager UI. Thanks. Note, I could be missing something really obvious. I have been at this computer for nearly 24 hours as a service just died on me yesterday at 1:37pm.

email server being contrary
by David Mehler 12 Apr '20

12 Apr '20

Hello, This is to anyone who has setup and operates their own email server rather than relying on a cloud provider. If you do can you email me privately? I've got an email server that is being contrary. It runs Dovecot for Imap, Postfix for Smtp, apache as webserver, and roundcube as an email frontend. The short version is about two days ago about the same time as I put in the google two factor authentication plugin for roundcube the latest version of Chrome and just found out Firefox latest will no longer log in. I don't see anything in the logs it's as if there is no login atempts at all. The problem I am having with this and the contrary part of this is that IE11 works just fine, logs in great. It is quite prplexing. Please suggestions welcome. Thanks. Dave.
