Automatically installing and accessing Windows Server 2016 in a non-domain environment?
by Jared Stofflett 20 Sep '17

20 Sep '17

Does anyone have examples of automatically installing Windows Server 2016 in such a way that it is possible to use the server with screen reading software after the install is complete? At the least after the install is complete I'd like to be able to get a remote powershell session in that I could then hopefully use to install screen reading software. Unfortunately my personal machine is in a domain, but the VM I would use to install Windows Server would not be joined to a domain. My understanding is this makes getting remote access much more complicated since you can't just enter a password to get a remote powershell session like you can with SSH. Any advice on this would be appreciated. Note I'm using Hyperv as the hypervisor, and don't care what screen reader I can use to access the server.

JFW reading terminals
by Kieran Little 20 Sep '17

20 Sep '17

Hi, Not sure if this is the best place to ask this but it's the only list I'm subscribed to. I'm supposed to be working with a lot of cisco equipment at the minute, through SSH and terminal sessions. I'm using JFW since it was bought for me, all of our cisco equipment requires you to be on a remote server to configgure it and I can't use NVDA remote anyway because of firewalls, ETC. I've got JFW working fine remotely, but either on the local JAWS or remote JAWS I can't get it to read terminals. I'm using both PUTTY and tera term. It reads CMD fine just not terminals. Are there any special settings ETC I need to change? Cheers for any help.

Ubuntu 17.04 installation with speech
by David Mehler 20 Sep '17

20 Sep '17

Hello, Has anything changed in the latest Ubuntu 17.04 that effects speech? I'm trying to get Ubuntu 17.04 64 bit going in a virtual machine workstation11 vm on my windows 10 host. Prior to this with 14.04 and 16.04 I waited until the drum prompt then did alt+super+s which got me speech. In 17.04 I do hear the drum prompt which I love by the way, and I do the alt+super+s and nothing no speech. Any ideas? Thanks. Dave.

Hi all, We have a bunch of USB Sticks from a advertisement action we did last year. Those USB Sticks contain a cd drive which contains a pdf which is a few mb. I wonder if that drive can be removed? anyone knows special tools for that? linux or windows. Or are those often made with a second chip that emulates the cd drive with the pdf on? Greetings and thanks, Simon

NVDA MSI package?
by Eigeldinger Simon 08 Sep '17

08 Sep '17

Hi all, Anyone heard of a MSI package for NVDA? I also have a second idea also to distribute nvda. I plan to write a batch script that uses robocopy to distribute a portable install of nvda and drops a preconfigured desktop icon on the public desktop. i guess thats better than dropping the folder onto the computer using a gpo. pushing 100 mb across a network with workstations with a slow connection might not be fun while the user logs in. It also might be a good idea to drop a message to the NVDA devs that more and more seem to want to distribute NVDA over many computers which is easier done with something automated.
