Here is what I know/have personally used: - The Hyper-V console is accessible for creating and configuring a Virtual Machine - the is no audio access for installing the OS on a Virtual Machine via Hyper-V (I have no knowledge/experience with the different flavors of VMWare) - Once the OS is installed and configured in the Virtual Machine, you can install JAWS as a remote client - As long as your local copy of JAWS has the remote option set on the authorization key you are using, then you can use the remote desktop app to connect to the remote machine and use it normally. If you attempt to connect within the Hyper-V console to the remote machine, this connects at the console level and JAWS will not use the remote authorization to activate the copy of JAWS on the remote machine.

My small nonprofit has finally come to a point where my LAN support team is recommending that we consider virtualizing our server. I am being advised to run Microsoft hyper V , so that I can virtual eyes a 2012 server, along with a linux server. Would someone kindly remind me what the current level of accessibility is regarding speech with jaws or NVDA in those environments? Thanks.
