Windows server 2003 accessibility with jaws for windows v13
Hello, I was recommended to join this list by a friend. I have applied for an it helpdesk job and a small part of this job is using windows server 2003. I have never used any versions of windows server and would like to ask on this list for all the help and hints/tips you can give me on whether windows server 2003 can be used with jaws 13. I have been called for an assessment to use the server and use basic tasks such as adding and removing users. Does the server setup take time, if so, what is required? I am sorry if i have not been very clear in this email, but i have never had any experience with windows server. Please could someone get back to me as soon as possible.
I've absolutely no wish to discourage you, but handling the working of a server, be it 2003 or later, is no simple job. If they are prepared to teach you what they want you to do, that's fine, but don't try to go beyond that. Suffice to say that there are courses, but they are expensive and time-consuming.

hello, I have been told that training for the required tasks will be given. My main concern at the moment is the overall accessibility of the server. Can it be used with jaws without any sighted assistance (providing the knowledge is there for the management)? On 5/30/12, George Bell <george@techno-vision.co.uk> wrote:

hello, Thank you very much for all the emails. It is very much apreciated. I am new to server usage so i am assuming that active directory gives access to part of the server from the local machine without needing to remotely connect, so a remote licence is not required?

Hi, It is doable with Windows Server 2003 (only 32-bit version), JFW with a remote access license, or WindowEyes/Hal (no extra licenses are needed for WindowEyes, not sure about Hal). The software needs to be loaded onto the server as well as the client workstation. Personally we don't let helpdesk staff go near the server, we install Active Directory tools on their workstations and give them priviledges to reset passwords etc, but nothing else. This is a more secure way of managing the environment and also would help your access issues as the remote tools are perfectly usable on the local workstation. Of course I can't speak for the specific environment concerned. Thanks. Andrew. ________________________________________ From: blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org [blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org] on behalf of Chamandeep Grover [cmusic789@googlemail.com] Sent: 30 May 2012 14:05 To: blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] Windows server 2003 accessibility with jaws for windows v13 Hello, I was recommended to join this list by a friend.

Setting up Windows server is similar to setting up a Windows workstation. There is a point at the beginning of the installation where there is no speech. Once you get past that point, much of Windows server is accessible. I have not used Jaws for Windows, but have used Window-Eyes with little trouble. I don't know if you will be working at the server console or from a workstation connected to the server. If you are going to be maintaining user accounts, they might have you at a workstation and use Active Directory to allow you access to the functions you will need to do the work. This should be quite doable with Jaws.
