my bad narrator was on the iso but no sound driver Den 2025-07-07 kl. 04:49, skrev Ryan Shugart via Blind-sysadmins:

All the latest ISOs should have Narrator so far as I know. If you have one that doesn't and its still available for download, go ahead and send that info to edad@microsoft.com. Thanks. Ryan

Hi Ryan. I haven't done a Windows Server install from ISO for years now. I know the initial setup has Narrator but does the out of box experience once the server is running work with Narrator? It used to be that once installed we didn't get speech feedback until we could go in and start the audio service. Thanks. Andrew. -----Original Message----- From: Ryan Shugart via Blind-sysadmins <blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org> Sent: 07 July 2025 03:50 To: Mailing list for blind system administrators <blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org> Cc: Ryan Shugart <rshugart@ryanshugart.com> Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] Re: installing windowss server with narrator All the latest ISOs should have Narrator so far as I know.

All, I too can confirm this to be the case. My process goes like this... I install the operating system just like normal. When the server reboots, I use either an iPhone to let me know it is at the login screen or a human. Once I login, I do the Windows Key + X then "A". his gives me Power Shell with Admin. Then I run: net start auditors. Then: narrator.exe. I then use the Services Console to set the service to always start. This is quick and dirty, but it serves me well in my day-to-day work.
