Hi: Technically, there is a 32-bit version of Exchange 2007. Microsoft just doesn't support it in production environments. It does work, however. I'm a little conserned about access to 64-bit systems as well, my job has told me that long term, I have to have access to these systems. I'm trying to figure out why GW-Micro and Freedom seem so anti 64-bit computing, is it simply the relatively low usage numbers, or is there some kind of huge technical hurtle involved in porting a screen reader to 64-bit? All three of the major screen readers support running apps over Citrix and TS, and outside the remote administration area, AKA people actually needing to access Citrix apps for their jobs, a lot of that is moving 64-bit, so...

I am hoping that GW Micro or Freedom Scientific get a 64-bit screen reader released soon or my job is going to suffer. I believe it is possible to admin Exchange 2007 from 32-bit XP or Vista but that does not cover everythingan Exchange admin needs access to. I've fixed my posting issue--thanks for taking care of the last post. Matt On Sun, September 7, 2008 08:30, Andrew Hodgson wrote:
Hi,
Was that the 32-bit version? I only have access to the X86_64 version at work, and if I put Exchange 2007 on a new test box I have at home, that will need to be 64-bit edition also. I may end up moving my email to a non-Exchange server, because of the rising cost of power etc, but that is another story.
I asked the GW Micro folks about this and they said they didn't think WE would work with Server 2008, so that is good to know anyway.
BTW, I had to approve your message going out on the list since it came from a nonregistered email address.
Thanks. Andrew.

I have a 2008 test box at home that I have been successful using with WE 6.1.

Hi,
I have also never got the chaining RDP working in Windoweyes.
You can do the install and reboot later if you do the install in the right orde - i.e, do the custom install, install the intercepter, then reboot when required.
What is worrying me presently with WE is that they don't seem to support Windows Server 2008 and no manufacturer is supporting a 64-bit Windows, meaning for example any admin wanting to do a live Exchange 2007 deployment will be a bit stuck.
Andrew.

I totally second this. Window-Eyes has the best remote access support I've seen, and its seemless. The only downside to it is it needs to be installed on the server and it requires a reboot, but I consider that more a disadvantage of the screen reader model in general, not Window-Eyes. The only solution I know that has worked around that is Serotek's RAM product, and I've not played with that to know how well it works in practice. Troy, you're actually ahead of me, I can't get Window-Eyes to work if I'm already RDP'd into a box and RDP into another one. I just assumed it was a limitation of their implementation and never thought twice about it. Did you have to do anything special to get that to work? Ryan

Hi Dave,
Don't know if this is the outside of the box answer you need; but I use Window-eyes for most of my network needs and I use RDP like a wild man around here. It's very smooth and doesn't require an extra license. I've even logged into a central server and then out to other workstations from there.

Hello, I've got a question and i'm hoping for a thinking out of the box type fix. Remote desktop and screen readers, i'm needing access. I've got xp remote workstations i need to get to from a centrally located workstation. Our copy of jfw9 does not have remote access key in it, and getting it isn't going to happen. I'd like to get remote desktop sessions working. Is there a jfw alternative that could be used to correct this situation, sa2go, or one of the free screen readers, or something else? Thanks. Dave.
