Hi German: Interesting, from the version number, you should be able to use the keyboard shortcuts mentioned, and the Config Manager console is the correct program you should be running. In the interest of not choking up the list traffic with this, I'll reach out to you privately shortly as well as loop in the EDAD for tracking on this. Thanks.

I can't read the console version number but I was able to get it read to me. It is: 1702 console 5.00.8498.1700 German -----Original Message----- From: Blind-sysadmins [mailto:blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org] On Behalf Of Ryan Shugart via Blind-sysadmins Sent: Monday, June 12, 2017 3:22 AM To: Blind sysadmins list <blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org> Cc: Ryan Shugart <ryshugar@microsoft.com> Subject: Re: [Blind-sysadmins] SCCM accessibility Hi German: First of all, let's make sure you are running the Configuration Manager console. The other UIs such as Software Center or the small control panel UI in the SCCM client do not support these shortcuts. So, if you are in the console, you should be able to use ctrl+1 through ctrl+4 to jump to the various screens, ctrl+1 moves to assets and compliance, which is where the product launches on default. CTRL+2 moves to software library, ctrl+3 monitoring and ctrl+4 will take you to the administration UI. The treeview options will change to reflect the options in each screen, but the main UI itself will stay the same. Can you tell me if this is working in your environment? If it isn't, can you try and find the exact version of the console you are running? Remember that while your admin may be running the latest version of the server, your console may not be updating. Thanks.

Quite a bit actually. Didn't know that there were three parts.. Is there a keystroke that absolutely works no matter where you land in the interface. I can't seem to get any so far that I've tried that were outlined in the documentation. My system admin told me yesterday that we are on the latest branch so at least I don't think that's the problem.

You have: 1. The configuration manager client, a piece of software that runs on all managed computers behind the sceenes, it does have a very small UI in control panel but mostly just runs behind the sceens and only shows UI when needed. 2. Software Center, is installed along side the client but is technically its own thing. It is a program that runs and allows users to self service and install their own software and make limited requests to SCCM. 3. The SCCM console, this runs on administrator computers and allows them to admin the SCCM environment. This is the piece of software we were referring to with keyboard shortcuts. The title bar reads "configuration manager console <three letter site code> <full site name>" Does this help at all?

I have configuration manager and I have software center which is the client side? Is there yet another one or is this what you are referring too? I haven't checked both those versions yet but when I was in Configuration manager earlier today, none of the keyboard shortcuts didn't work for me. I'll get more info because this may open up some possibilities for me.

There are two versions, the server version and the client version. Ideally these should match but sometimes IT people don't push out the client as quickly as they should, and sometimes even when they do the server takes a while to tell the client to upgrade.

Can't determine what that would be. I tried some of the keystrokes mentioned in here and they don't work so I'm guessing my school is not at that particular version. I can't seem to ever wrap my head around Microsoft's numbering convention when it comes to software.

I know there's a few SCCM admins on the list, so this may be of assistance. https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.microsoft.com%2Fen-us%2Fsccm%2Fcore%2Funderstand%2Faccessibility-features&data=02%7C01%7Cryshugar%40microsoft.com%7C5a93192af8444db4a6a808d4af770b53%7C72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47%7C1%7C0%7C636326373205925652&sdata=W9kc%2FsBFItA4DRQe8duZAfVhQeS5Q%2BhOlZ5166bYNRQ%3D&reserved=0 At this point the doc is pretty basic, it lists the specialized keyboard commands for the console and some basic tips for moving around, but do expect this to grow over time. We are continuing to work on access to the SCCM console, if you have any specific issues that we aren't already working on please feel free to contact me and let me know what they are. Thanks.
