Microsoft Server 2012R2 with JAWS, any tips?
by zoidarmy 08 May '14

08 May '14

Hello. I am trying to teach myself MS Server2012R2, using JAWS. I have books etc. Just wondering if anyone has any tips with navigating the Server Manager screen. I'm finding it quite confusing. At this stage, I don't know how to use PowerShell, hence using the gui. I'm using the server as a VM on VMWare, on a Windows 7 Proffessional system, with JFW 15. Best regards and thanks for any thoughts. Chris Turner

Hi, Did a more permanent solution get figured out for the Windows7PE that was provided by, Isaac? I will be getting the rest of my parts to build my new PC, and will be installing Windows 7 64 bit. I will also be trying the one done by Bryan Smart, but I think this other will fit my needs better. Thanks, Michael

What's everyone's experience with the windows Server Essentials Experience role?
by Katherine Moss 26 Apr '14

26 Apr '14

Hi all, This is more of an administrative question rather than an accessibility question. Have you found benefits in using the Windows server Essentials Experience role? If so, what were they? Did the environment make it easier for employees in smaller organizations? Have you ever deployed it with multiple other servers in the environment, especially multiple domain controllers? Have you discovered if it has benefits even for the knowledgeable It person? Thanks.

JFW dongle with Windows 8.1 - USB issues
by Andrew Hodgson 19 Apr '14

19 Apr '14

Hi, Has anyone else seen USB issues with JFW (using 8.1 here with JFW 15) authorised by a dongle? I am finding that USB devices I plug into the system don't appear until I restart JFW. This means that I nearly bricked a phone today when doing an update, as the system couldn't find the phone after it rebooted. I did email FS some time ago on this and got nothing back whatsoever, so wondering if anyone else found this? If I remove the dongle, reboot the system and run JFW in demo mode, everything is fab. Thanks. Andrew.

SCCM 2012 Admin Accessibility Tips
by Mika Pyyhkala 10 Mar '14

10 Mar '14

Hi, Please send me any tips for navigating the SCCM 2012 console, or in regards to, if people are using PowerShell instead. I think I have read in a prior post that the SCCM 2012 console is not as accessible as prior versions, but that it may be useable with some work arounds. I am just getting started with SCCM 2012, so I have not experienced any issues per se as of yet but it seems as though it does not behave as well as a typical MMC snap in.

I use psexec to install JAWS to remote computers quite a bit.

Hi, this is my last email to the list on this subject. the zip for usb use is at https://www.drivehq.com/file/DFPublishFile.aspx/FileID1780826562/Keyg4w3ixw… >From this disk you can install your copy of windows 7 32 bit or windows 7 64 bit, you can also install your windows 8 32 bit or windows 8 64 bit. You also have access to the windows 7 64 bit recovery image feature, so if you made a system backup using the control pannel backup and created a system image, you can restore it using this disk. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to restore a windows 8 system backup as of yet since it uses the vhdx instead of vhd. This release includes two synths, one of who is very eligent, and the other lives on deck. to set this one up do the following. put an empty two gig or higher usb stick in to your computer running windows 7 or windows 8. go to the command prompt by typing start, run, c m d enter! Then type diskpart enter! then type list disk enter taking note of the number of your u s b stick. Then type select disk, then the number of your usb stick. For example select disk 2 enter. then type clean enter then type create partition primary enter. then type format fs=ntfs quick enter then type active enter. then type assign Now extract the file I sent you placing all of the files on to the usb drive. Your good to go, hear's the link. https://www.drivehq.com/file/DFPublishFile.aspx/FileID1780826562/Keyg4w3ixw… and the iso for dvd use once again is at http://www.drivehq.com/file/df.aspx/shareID11550803/fileID1780741131/disk.i… So, now that the uploads are working, please respect the list and keep all questions off the list and if you have questions about the disk or the downloading send it to bigikemusic(a)gmail.com.
