Hi, We also recently started using SCCM. As noted, the main interface is very clunky and doesn't work well with Jaws. There are some things you can do, but its difficult at best. I would be interested in the WE scripts as well. We had a great SCCM consultant, I can get you the exact spelling and name if you like, and he was able to create Powershell scripts that I could use to perform a large number of functions that would ordinarily be performed through the GUI. The project focused on user state migration and converting existing Win XP and non managed Win 7 machines to SCCM managed machines. We converted about 500 machines, largely after hours from Mar to May 2014. Our setup also is such that say a user needs Microsoft Project to be installed, we add them to an AD group and SCCM pulls from the group and then installs Project based on the group membership. I can answer any other questions or try to help you as best I can.

Its usable, but very clunky, I had to get GW-Micro, now AI Squared to write custom scripts for it. The ribbon doesn’t read at all, but 95 percent of its functions are available through context menus. There’s a lot of times that focus goes into odd places, and many lists don’t read by default, again those are fixed for me by the scripts. SCCM in and of itself is a beast of a program in that it does a ton, and then the accessibility makes it more daunting, so I’d definitely take my time learning it, and perhaps set up your own lab with no production machines on it. For someone who can see and has no accessibility issues, you have to be careful or you could mess things up. Last year, some university, I forgot which, accidentally reemeged every machine on their domain using SCCM, including the SCCM server, to Windows 7. Ryan

Hello all. I currently work at a College's IT department. They are about to start using SCCM. Does anyone have any experience or could give me some advice as to how I could use it. Or not since I don't know the status on screen reader friendliness for it.
Thanks Herman _______________________________________________ Blind-sysadmins mailing list Blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org https://lists.hodgsonfamily.org/listinfo/blind-sysadmins
