Hello everyone: My name is Kathryn and I recently started working in a desktop support
Kathryn Both JAWS and WindowEyes have their own versions of an accessible remote access solution. However, it's my experience that WindowEyes 7.5 provides the best and most reliable RDP option, though I haven't tried JAWS Tandem for live support scenarios. If you're looking to use Windows remote desktop or Citrix for performing system maintenance, both screen readers work, though I've found JAWS to be extremely problematic, due to their authorization schema. WindowEyes works well and there is no authorizations to worry with. Just install it on each machine where you'll need to gain remote access, and that's it. Also, WinEyes provides the capability to provide real-time remote assistance for situations that require such, but I'm not sure if it works with XP. At version 7.5, it would only work if both machines wer running Win7 or Vista. However this may have been resolved in V7.51, which I do not have. I've heard good things about Jaws Tandem in regards to remote assistance, but do not have any experience with it. Hope this helps.

Please check out the range of software from www.portlock.com. I have their Leapfrog software, which assists in creating a native VHD boot environment with Windows 7 or Server 2008 R2 as the running operating system. It also provides various features, from creating and attaching a VHD to mounting an ISO image. You can download a functional shareware which lasts for 30 days and excludes the ability to set up a native VHD boot environment. Then if it suits you you can purchase it for $39 which will unlock this feature as well as allow you to use it for unrestricted use. So that's www.portlock.com. Many thanks. Chat soon.

Our company looked at acronus deployment suite but this is not very accessible.
Also, is there any remote control software that is accessible besides rim from Serotek? Best, Kathryn _______________________________________________ Blind-sysadmins mailing list Blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org http://lists.hodgsonfamily.org/listinfo/blind-sysadmins
