Re: [Blind-sysadmins] remote desktop

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

Hi, I will try that tomorrow, I think the thing you need to do is from the server running WE you need to enable the virtual channel for RDP - I did this on the XP workstation, but if you have another server there as well then you probably need to enable it there.

Perhaps its that my client is running a later version of Window-Eyes than those running on the servers. Other than that though I've got the same setup you have, and can't go past one server.

Also make sure the same versions of Window-eyes are trying to talk to each other. I've noticed that if I'm sitting at an older version of Window-eyes and try to connect to a later version, it doesn't seem to work. Also, I've noticed that even after all these settings are set correctly, every server or work station needs a reboot the first time a remote session is established to work properly with the video driver. Hope this helps. Troy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ryan Shugart" To: "Blind sysadmins list" Sent: Saturday, September 06, 2008 1:07 AM Subject: Re: [Blind-sysadmins] remote desktop 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.
