Hi Andrew: I thought you could redirect, but I might be wrong, in all honesty I've not messed with that part of the VIC in a while so I'll have to check when I get into work and get back to you. I agree the RDP issue is a bummer, my company is moving pretty much all of our servers to VMs over the next few months, and as the primary VMWare guy there I'll have a huge part to play in that. So one way or another a solution will be found.

The WE RDP issue is a bummer, because I would always be remoting into the VM image either using RDP or through the VIC.

If you RDP into a VM, and fire up Window-Eyes, you will get a blue screen. Perhaps not right away, but within five minutes of use. GW-Micro is aware of the problem, but is currently at a loss as to why its happening. The problem originates from within the DLL they use to provide video intersept support for the RDP session. They're working on a fix, but there is a possibility they might not be able to fix it without help from VMWare, AKA the problem could lie in how VMWare uses and calls video drivers. As I said its too soon to tell for sure. By console, I'm referring to the VIC. If you go into the VIC (VMWare Infrastructure Client), right click on the VM and open console, you can work with Window-Eyes without an issue. Your problem there is that you can't get sound redirected through the VIC, so hopefully you can get speech some other way such as a serial synth. Hope this helps.

Do you mean by using the console you are using virtuall center? Is it possible at all to rdp in to a vm using windoweyes?

There are issues with Window-Eyes 6.1 if you RDP into a VMWare session, the VM will blue screen. You don't appear to have these issues from the console. From the management perspective, using either JAWS or Window-Eyes its doable, just be prepared to use your mouse pointer a lot. The one stumbling block that could get you right away is there are what appear to be buttons across the top of the screen for summary, events, etc. You can't tab and press space on these buttons, if you do nothing will happen. You can route your mouse pointer and click, and things will work fine. With Window-Eyes, I get a lot of OSM corruption in the VIC, I've heard this can also happen with JAWS. Hope this helps.

I did write to the JFW list, and some people said there may be issues with the intercepter driver not running in the Vmware session. This now may be fixed in JFW 9.0, however, I have not had time to use it, and ESX 3.0 is now of course out. The workstation product may work better, I was using the Vmware ESX server which installs on a machine as it's own operating system, then gives you like a console with all the running images.

Anyone got or willing to write-up a tutorial or record a podcast for the complete newbie? I've just started CBT Nuggets vmware series, but don't want to get too far a-head to find that it will not work under Windows XP with the above screenreaders.
