1. You Installed NVDA silently as you mentioned. Is there a switch that would disable NVDA from starting at logon? Or did you have to manually uncheck the checkbox after installation?
You have to do that after install by hand unfortunately. You also can't do that using the config because it seems to write that into the registry. maybe you might be able to fnid that in the registry somewhere. haven't looked yet though.
2. Did the -c flag work for you when you wrote your batch file, or did you have to manually enter the -r -c flags after installation?
I had to replace the icon on the desktop. i dropped it into the public desktop folder so everyone can access nvda on their profile. So the target of the icon looks like that: "C:\Program Files (x86)\NVDA\nvda_slave.exe" launchNVDA -r -c \\server\NVDA The install file for silent installs looks like that over here: nvda_2017.2.exe --install-silent --minimal
3. I'm not quite sure what you mean when you say: you need or find teamviewer still useful when admin screens stop nvda from talking to your nvda remote session. I assume you ask the person on the other end to read what's on screen when NVDA stops speaking?
You can do that as well.
though i have always a teamviewer session going on in the background as well because admin screens are not moved over using nvda remote. at least when you haven't installed the addon systemwide. another step you need to take when setting up new machines.
though i have found out that it seems not always to work with that solution.
So i kept using a teamviewer and nvda remote combo.

Simon

Hello Simon,
Thanks much for your reply.
I have a few questions please, If you don't mind me asking, did you install NVDA silently on all the pc's? Secondly, on the computers NVDA was installed, did you select to: Use currently saved settings on the logon and other secure screens?
Sorry again for all my questions.

You can copy a good icon and drop it in every box. that what i had to do. i dropped it into c:\users\public\desktop and from there you can start it then.

Hi List,
Apologies in advance if I am going off topic.
Has anyone gotten NVDA to install silently using a custom config pointed elsewhere?
My question stems from some NVDARemote messages which I've followed from Simon sometime ago, Thanks Simon.
I've setup the config and put it it on the server however,
My problem is that
If I install NVDA with switches like:
c:\nvda.exe --install-silent -m launchNVDA -r -c \\share\NVDA
After a silent install, on the desktop, target of the icon shows like:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\NVDA\nvda_slave.exe" launchNVDA -r
Of course I could modify the icon to point to the config, but I can't imagine having to do this on many pc's within the company?
Any help regarding my issue would be much appreciated please.
Kind Regards

Hello again,
I've tried it on the corporate network, and everything works as expected.
Just staying abit on the secure/admin dialogs.
I noticed if UAC is enabled, I cannot dismiss the dialog by pressing alt y.
I had to disable it to get an install going.
I should note that I am not using team viewer for now.
Simon, could you perhaps please provide an example in windows where NVDA might not read during the NVDARemote session?
Also, are you saying that, if I were to use teamviewer, I would have no problem reading that UAC dialog?
The registry entry for controlling whether NVDA starts at the logon screen is below:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Accessibility]
"Configuration"=""
Because I did not want NVDA starting, therefore, I've removed NVDA from within the configuration bit.
Kind Regards
