Darrah: I took a look at NVDA earlier this year and found it worked reasonably well. AD, group policy and SCCM all worked reasonably well but then those were all MMCs. I didn't try SCOM with it but it isn't an MMC, and with Window-Eyes SCOM worked horribly. We don't use SCOM where I work so I didn't play much. VSphere worked pretty well with it, at least as well as JAWS and Window-Eyes, NVDA seemed to do a better job at keeping the focus in one place. For newer applications, such as SCCM 2012 and SCSM that are going all UIA, I have concerns, but that also applies to JFW and Window-Eyes too. For me, the lack of RDP is a big barrior, as I work out of a branch office and not our main datacenter. I don't think RDP is high on the NVDA road map, as NVDA seems more focused on home settings and not that many people use RDP at home.

Greetings, Are many of you using NVDA for reasonably complicated administration work? For example, group policy, Active directory, Linux server, SCCM, SCOM, Backup Exec / Data protecter, San management, VSphere, Hyper-V, Anti Virus such as Trend OfficeScan etc? I'm not really interested in using the day to day applications like word, Outlook and all that. I've begun using it and I'm finding it is very powerful. I'd love remote desktop support but I'm sure they'll get to that eventually. If your using it for system administration would you mind telling me what applications your using it with and what problems you've encountered? Maybe tell me a bit about why you prefer it over Jaws, Window Eyes or Hal as I ? I might try to write up a page for www.blindsysadmins.com Regards Darragh Ó Héiligh Fujitsu Offices of the Houses of the Oireachtas, Fredrick Building, South Fredrick Street, Dublin2 Telephone: +353 (1) 618 3559 Email: darragh.oheiligh@oireachtas.ie Internet: http://www.oireachtas.ie _______________________________________________ Blind-sysadmins mailing list Blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org http://lists.hodgsonfamily.org/listinfo/blind-sysadmins
