Katherine: I played with remote app once a ton of years ago with an older version of Window-Eyes. I published both Window-Eyes and Calculator as a remote app and got it to work, kind of. The problem I ran into was that when I used a Window-Eyes hotkey sometimes it ran on my local copy and sometimes it ran on the remote copy. Also sometimes when I entered text both the local and remote copies would echo back my keystrokes. I mentioned these things to AISquared/GW-Micro at the time, and they didn’t seem that interested in addressing it. I’ve not looked at it lately though. We really just don’t use RDS for anything beyond administration where I work, we use Citrix Xenapp for app delivery. Ryan

Sorry, I'm only familiar with the Remote Desktop client.

What about remote app? In other words, when aplications are published from Terminal Services? Does that work via the same configuration? The knockedge base article says nothing about that.

I'm not sure why it's not working for you, but I use this successfully all day long. Make sure that on both the server and your local machine, you have gone to the Window-eyes advanced options in the start menu and enable Microsoft virtual channel. I also implemented a group policy which applies not only to the server but every domain computer forcing audio redirection. These 2 things should enable this to work. I don't remember the exact group policy procedure for the audio redirection, but could go back and figure out the way to configure it if you need it.

Hello all, A few questions. I know that some of this at least is addressed in the AISquared knowledge base, but it seems that either I or they are missing something. I'm attempting to run Window-Eyes 9.2 remotely on a server, for administration for one, and I've enabled virtual channel, and then when I go into the Window-Eyes settings to set up the Virtual Terminal services voice, it never actually activates and my settings always tend to revert back to the default. I hit activate on Virtual Terminal Services for Remote desktop, and at that moment, Window-Eyes stops speaking ... so there's sort of a caveat there isn't there? Anyway ... onto my second question. We're trying to set up remote app (my friend says he's got it working for his Active Directory site), and I'm wondering whether anyone has gotten Remote App working with Window-Eyes? (the KB article does not discuss it specifically when referring to Terminal Services, only to ZenWorks Presentation server ...) But I'd assume the pr ocedures for configuration are the same whether referring to remote app or to VDI? Thanks for input and suggestions, guys! _______________________________________________ Blind-sysadmins mailing list Blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org https://lists.hodgsonfamily.org/listinfo/blind-sysadmins
