Examples of unattended Windows server 2019 installations with SSH enabled?
by Jared Stofflett 16 Jan '19

16 Jan '19

Does anyone have examples of automated installs of Windows Server 2019 that have SSH enabled when the install is completed? I'd like to build some 2019 VM's using Packer and it would be a lot easier to access them over SSH then dealing with winrm since they will not be joined to a domain.

Haha that's taking the whole friendly neighbourhood IT guy type thing a little bit too far do you not think Andrew? You should have invoiced them for the work you carried out. At least they would have known that said work had taken place that way.

Hi, There is a misconception that these powerlines need a direct electric hookup between the systems in order for them to connect. They use the electric wiring as aerials and so it is perfectly possible for them to see each other even though you are on a different ring. I had a story about this a year or so back. I had taken a load of powerlines from my parents to try and sort out a network issue I had at my flat as it has thick walls, they had a load from when I lived there and they weren't using them. I plugged them in and reset them to default, and as part of this process I thought I was seeing my own network. I had existing powerlines which were encrypted. The software I was using prompted me that the powerlines needed a firmware upgrade so I went ahead with this. It took a fairly long time to complete which I was surprised about, and as part of the upgrade it said it was upgrading a wireless access point which I didn't have. The usability of the software wasn't good anyway, so I was fiddling around a bit. When the upgrades completed I attempted to get onto my router to identify DHCP leases and found I was presented with a BT hub instead. Yes I had connected to a neighbour with similar powerlines and upgraded all their kit!

Of course it makes theoretical sense, given the buildings are joined that I would be sharing the same powerlines... If I was a malicious user I could have very easily reset their router, changed the WIFI password and locked them out, all be it until they called their ISP and reset the router but then I could jump back on and essentially get free Internet....

Thanks everyone. From Wednesday morning I would ask that everyone tweets @Thurrott with the following: #AccessibilityWins @Thurrott @TWiT #WindowsWeekly #LeoLaporte You could write a message like this: Because Microsoft invested in accessibility, I can use SCCM to administer thousands of workstations. #AccessibilityWins @Thurrott @TWiT #WindowsWeekly #LeoLaporte Narrator in Windows 10 is becoming a very powerful screen reader. #AccessibilityWins @Thurrott @TWiT #WindowsWeekly #LeoLaporte Because Microsoft works with companies like Freedom Scientific and NVAccess, Windows 10 is very accessible. #AccessibilityWins @Thurrott @TWiT #WindowsWeekly #LeoLaporte I administer 104,000 users in active directory. It's fully accessible. #AccessibilityWins @Thurrott @TWiT #WindowsWeekly #LeoLaporte I'm a full stack developer thanks to Visual studio. #AccessibilityWins @Thurrott @TWiT #WindowsWeekly #LeoLaporte Windows Weekly airs again tomorrow, Wednesday. I really want the messages relating to accessibility to be clear in Paul's, Mary's and Leo's mind while they sit down to present tomorrow's show. Feel free to ask people to retweet. I agree that The OOB experience could be better. And I know I don't need to say it but just for the benefit of others, the points I was making weren't related to the OOB. Certain people who disagree with me are trying to conflate my points to associate them with frustrations around OOB but my issues are with how Paul attacked accessibility. Not the way he attacked the OOB. I'm just saying this again here. Not because I think people are misunderstanding me but because I have been misunderstood, sometimes intentionally on some other forums. -----Original Message----- From: Andrew Hodgson <andrew(a)hodgson.io> Sent: Monday 14 January 2019 20:57 To: Blind sysadmins list <blind-sysadmins(a)lists.hodgsonfamily.org> Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] Re: Podcast on why accessibility is not a win. Hi, Sorry only just got around to this now - I don't really listen to many podcasts so had to make a bit of time. I originally thought this was the Windows 10 RE mode speech we were talking about but we were talking about the OOBE. I am not sure what the end decision is on the talking OOBE now, but I agree that the way they implemented it was probably a bit dumb in the sense that everyone else I know of hates the thing and wants to get rid of it. Also if you try and use it without enabling Narrator you will have a tough time, so I think it needs addressing. However the podcast was totally wrong and the comments made were at best misguided and at worse will only serve to clarify people's misguided opinion on what people with little or no sight can do on a computer. I am not sure what the state of the talking OOBE will be going forward, but I like the way Apple do this after a while of silence, and then only giving the minimum of noise. If I can find it the BCAB (presenter me!) did a presentation on installing Windows from a completely blank disk and everyone was extremely pleased with the work that MS did. However I did do a survey afterwards about how many people would try this on their own and in a room of 40 people only 2 said they would try it actively which although I wasn't surprised, it did make me feel a bit sad.

I think this issue highlights a point I'veen trying to make for years. While the number of blind sys admins might be fairly small, to them, accessibility is extremely important. There probably are a lot more blind sys admins than most people realize. But having to call someone over to help you install Windows, as the podcaster suggested, is not a trivial thing. it is a matter of whether you can actually perform the job you were hired to do or not. There aren't that many tweeks Microsoft can make to Windows that can change the careers, and therefore the very lives, of a whole class of people. Accessibility problems aren't like other bugs. A typical bug doesn't make it harder for one guy to keep his job compared to another guy. A typical bug doesn't put a whole class of people at a disadvantage in the job market.

Are you sure your Asus router is in router mode (not WAP, look under administration)? Do the clients disappear when you turn off the wireless radios (wireless/professional, both/all bands)?

All, The below podcast I would suggest you have a listen too. The original podcast is from Windows weekly episode 603 where this host makes a large number of negative statements against accessibility for the vision impaired in windows. They are design to get an reaction. The host of the below podcast does an excellent job in highlighting the errors. http://www.digitaldarragh.com/2019/01/10/windows-weekly-603-paul-thurrott-is -so-very-wrong/#comment-49688

Strange gateway issue
by Barry Toner 15 Jan '19

15 Jan '19

Hi all, I have an Asus router that has the standard gateway address of 192.168.1.1. I connected a Powerline adaptor from TP Link. When I connect to the SSID being broadcast from the router and not the Powerline adaptor, and try to browse to the routers web admin I end up at the Powerline adaptor web admin using the gateway address. However, if I disconnect the Powerline adaptor the gateway address takes me to the router as expected. All network services are working as normal with or without the Powerline adaptor. What is happening and when the Powerline adaptor is connecting and apparently stealing the gateway address where is the routers gateway or rather how is it being addressed? At first I thought the Powerline adaptor was taking over as a DHCP, but that doesn’t make sense as I haven’t configured the Powerline adaptors WIFI move, so as far as I am aware the SSID is still coming directly from the router and not the Powerline adaptor…. Hope this makes sense? Cheers, Barry.
