windows server essentials 2016 has some interesting new enhancements
by Katherine Moss 25 Oct '16

25 Oct '16

All, Thought this might help at least some of you ... this knowledge has certainly helped me plan for my future as well ... https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/window-server-docs/essentials/get-start… As you'll notice ... essentials now supports multiple domains; I've yet to determine what this means for those using the essentials Experience role within a Standard edition or Datacenter Edition environment, but at least for those wanting to keep their skills up outside of work, or who might run a small business, and either don't have the budget or the MSDN subscription to grab every single Microsoft product in the book, this could be an option for you guys. In 2012 R2, I tried the Essentials Dashboard, and I'd recommend for accessibility's sake, you ignore the simplified functionality, or at best, use PowerShell scripts (every configuration available via GUI is available via PS), or just use the normal Server Manager tools. With these domain-related enhancements, I might be able to cut out an entire swath of servers I thought I might have had to deploy. (separate file server, separate Direct Access connection). I'll look at this more, and if I find anything interesting either in articles or in my own testing, I'll let you know.

Windows 10 JAWS issue
by Troy Hergert 20 Oct '16

20 Oct '16

Has anyone encountered the issue that JAWS stops reading the start menu, the system notification tray and the Windows I settings? NVDA works properly but something changed possibly in a Windows 10 update to cause this? Freedom Scientific suggested reinstalling JAWS and trying a new profile, but hasn't worked. Thought I ask if anyone else has seen this in Windows 10. Thanks.

Windows 10: Turning Off The Screen
by Bill Dengler 19 Oct '16

19 Oct '16

Hello, In earlier versions of windows (8.1, 8, 7, etc) you could run "displayswitch /external" from cmd or the run dialog, or press windows+p and select "second screen only" to turn off the monitor while still being able to use the machine with a screen reader. This was useful on laptops, where battery life and privacy are concerns. However, this feature seems to be unavailable in Windows 10 on a number of machines. For these systems, what is the best way to do this? Basically something like the "screen curtain" on Apple devices. Thanks, Bill

Microsoft Service Manager 2012
by Caroline Ford 17 Oct '16

17 Oct '16

Hello, I have just joined this list, so apologies if this subject has recently been discussed. Does anyone have any experience of using Microsoft System Center Service Manager 2012? We are just starting to use this at work as our new helpdesk system and I am not finding it easy to use with Jaws 17 and IE 11. The main problem I am having is re-assigning calls and changing the status, both tasks requiring you to open a listbox which more often than not refuses to open. I've also struggled when trying to filter calls in the All Open Service Requests view as the filter menu doesn't seem to open for me. Also the interface is unbelievably busy which makes it hard to find the important information on the screen among all the irrelevant bits and pieces. If anyone has mastered this software, please could you pass on some clues as to how you managed it. I only have IE installed at present but I have been told I could install either Firefox or Chrome if they would work any better. I only have Jaws, but if NVDA works like a dream with it, I'd be willing to try that out too. Hoping someone can offer some advice. Caroline.
