Hi All, You can install Windows Server 216 - 2022 just like a client with speech all the way through. Once you get to the reboot and login, it will not work because the Windows Audio Service doesn't start automatically. I wish there was a way to do this via Hyper-V as my entire virtualization cluster here at work is Hyper-V. The unattended install works great but same applies with Windows Audio Service. I tried to mitigate this by doing the OOBE and having RDP enabled with a preinstall of JAWS for example with no success. I hate asking for sighted assistance through this process. Thanks Kindly, Billy L.

Last time I checked I think the only option for Server OS is to use the unattended install method. Its been so long since I did a fresh server install I can't remember the specifics of this anymore. I don't think you can use Narrator from the setup CD like you can for the client versions. Would love to be proved wrong. Even if you could do this for the bear metal install with a USB soundcard it probably wouldn't work for the guest installs. Andrew. -----Original Message----- From: Mike Fulton <mikefulton95@gmail.com> Sent: Tuesday, May 9, 2023 3:35 PM To: blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] installing server 22 on VM Hi all, I've been tasked with setting up our new Hyper-V host. The host runs Server 22, as will the VM's. Is there a way to install Server 2022 on VM's with speech? Currently I've only been able to get speech working once the OS is already installed and running.
