Re: [Blind-sysadmins] System Center Configuration Manager admins

You may also want to try to get in contact with Anne Taylor on the Microsoft accessibility team for any pointers she could give you for getting the issue escalated. As you may recall, Anne worked for several years leading up NFB's technology center & many tech advocacy efforts before joining Microsoft. I don't have her Microsoft email but I could probably get it and or try to look her up at CSUN later this month.

I forwarded this thread to the lawyer for the International Association Of Visually Impaired Technologists. Maybe we can have a skype call to discuss legal options. I am thinking that at least IAVIT can send them a letter of protest or something.

Hi: As I've mentioned in the past I've been working with Microsoft Accessibility and the Configuration Manager team to improve accessibility to the System Center Configuration Manager admin console, which has some major issues today. I've made some progress, but the story I'm getting now is that the team is being pushed on all sides, and they're just not finding the resources to make accessibility the priority it needs to be. If there are any other blind Configuration Manager admins out there, would you mind posting a report on http://configurationmanager.uservoice.com Requesting accessibility fixes? Since I've done it via the product team me posting wouldn't help, but if they can see other users out there posting and voting that would help. Thanks a lot.
