Xcopy question
by Troy Hergert 03 Jan '19

03 Jan '19

Hello everyone, I use a bat file with an xcopy command to copy the contents of a folder on one nas drive to another. It does not tseem to copy new sub folders. My command line is as follows with I believe appropriate switches. Is xcopy the best route to go for this kind of procedure. I try to run the command every month or so to get a backup of my main utilities folder. It's around 150 Gb. New files within existing folders copy no problem but new subfolders and their contents do not. they seem to just get ignored. Thanks for any advice. xcopy "x:\utilities\*.*" y:\utilities\" /s /d /c /y Troy ###

Re: setting username format in Microsoft exchange?

Hey Andrew, Thanks so much for your help and guidance on where to check. Kind Regards -----Original Message----- From: Andrew Hodgson <andrew(a)hodgson.io> Sent: Sunday, 30 December 2018 11:37 PM To: Blind sysadmins list <blind-sysadmins(a)lists.hodgsonfamily.org> Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] Re: setting username format in Microsoft exchange? Hi, The best way to check this stuff out is to use the Outlook Autodiscover test tool - from within Outlook use ctrl key whilst right clicking on the Outlook item in the systray - it works with JFW systray explorer. When in there you can test different ways that Outlook does Autodiscover including HTTP/S for Exchange. However in summary you usually have to authenticate twice to the system if your machine is outside the domain or you use Office365, once to auth into the Autodiscover service itself and then you have to reply to an NTLM challenge prompt to auth into Exchange RPC. Its been ages since I did this stuff but seem to remember this part as its not the best to get it right. Andrew. -----Original Message----- From: Zameer Mahomed <core7xx(a)gmail.com> Sent: 30 December 2018 17:22 To: 'Blind sysadmins list' <blind-sysadmins(a)lists.hodgsonfamily.org> Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] Re: setting username format in Microsoft exchange? Hey Andrew, Thanks so much, it worked! My apologies,, I forgot to mention that I have a different domain set for the accepted domains in Exchange. Just one more question please? So I've successfully added the UPN suffix in AD, When I connect in outlook and add my email address and password and click next, outlook tries to authenticate but then comes back asking me to enter my credentials. I have to click on more choices, in the username, I add my email address and password and then all goes through. Would you perhaps know why I have to enter my credentials twice? Your help would really be much appreciated.

Hi, You should be able to log in via just the username part, but the best idea is to set a UPN that is the same as your email domain and then create a UPN to match the username of the email address. This is done automatically if you created your AD domain with the same domain as your email address, i.e, company.com, but if you used company.local you need to go through the steps of adding company.com as a trusted UPN in Active Directory and setting the users to use it. Hope this steers you in the right direction, Andrew. -----Original Message----- From: Zameer Mahomed <core7xx(a)gmail.com> Sent: 30 December 2018 07:50 To: 'Blind sysadmins list' <blind-sysadmins(a)lists.hodgsonfamily.org> Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] setting username format in Microsoft exchange? Hi Listers, Sorry for the somewhat vague subject. To those who have setup an on-premmiesis exchange server, How do you go about having a user accessing mails via outlook logon just using their email address and password? As it currently is, I have to connect using: Domain\username followed by the password. I'd like to authenticate with just the email address and password. I've googled, but can only find a way to change it for OWA and not outlook or any other client. Your help would be much appreciated.

Accessible backup solution?
by Zameer Mahomed 29 Dec '18

29 Dec '18

Hi Listers, Hope all are well. Firstly, I'd like to thank the people who replied to my question regarding accessibility of networking equipment, I've gone with a mix of Ubiquiti and mikrotik. As I continue with my lab, I have come to the point of where I have setup a few virtual machines and would like to back them up. Ideally, I'd like to manage the backups from one location and remotely if possible. I've heard of software like Veeam, Acronis, Backup Exec, DLO etc, but would like to know which backup software do you use with regard to accessibility? I've tried veeam, but it doesn't seem like the most pleasant interface to use. The agent on windows doesn't seem to bad though. I don't have any complicated setups, all these backups will be stored on a NAS. Your help would be much appreciated. Kind Regards

raspberry pi, kali linux, and re4son kernel
by David Mehler 26 Dec '18

26 Dec '18

Hello, I've got kali linux going on the official kali arm image raspberry pi 3 b + it's a nexmon image. My end goal is to get my external USB wireless adapter to work, it is an Alfa AWUS 036ACH it is supported by the rtl8112AU driver which is apparently not included in the nexmon image and thus far is proving hard to get working. I've heard that the re4son kernel has this and other drivers and will work with my card, thus far I've not ben able to get it going. Does anyone have this combination going and have any suggestions? Thanks. Dave.

Screen reader accessibility of Windows Sandbox
by Jason White 21 Dec '18

The forthcoming Windows Sandbox feature looks interesting, and I'm wondering whether it will be accessible with a screen reader - even if the user has to invoke a screen reader in the virtual environment. https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Windows-Kernel-Internals/Windows-Sand box/ba-p/301849

php stable version 7.2 or 7.3?
by David Mehler 14 Dec '18

14 Dec '18

Hello, To those who are running php in production environments, with 5.6 reaching EOL I'm having to upgrade. It looks from the php time line and releases page that 7.1 is nearly in the same boat. So I'm thinking either Php 7.2 or 7.3. Which of those are you running and why one over the other? Thanks. Dave.
