Hello, I really urgently need a way of finding out if there are locks and what are causing them in SQL 2008R2. The resource viewer or what ever it's called is really not accessible enough to get this information. Thanks

Hello, Do any of you have recommendations for power supply testers or general volt meters that generate for example audible tones or some other methods of feedback? I've got one that I need to test out. Thanks. Dave.

WE and RDP
by Scott Wheat 16 Jan '14

Hi Mika, It has been a while since I set it up. Basically, you have to get WE installed on the remote machine and then select the Virtual (remote desktop / terminal services) synthesizer and when you pick your Braille display make sure you choose the proper virtualization radio button. On the machine you are going to be sitting at, you need to go to start > windoweyes > advanced options and run Virtual channel maintenance. Here you need to enable Microsoft Virtual Channel Support. There may have been some other things, but that covers the basics. You can find some more info in the WE manual and in the knowledge base at gwmicro.com. As for remotely installing WE, I haven't looked at that. When I set up the servers here at work, I had the benefit of my co-workers eyes to help so we just logged in and installed it the normal way using a copy of the CD that I had put on a share. Good luck!

Hi Scott, Can you describe any specific configuration needed to get WE running on the client system that you are trying to control? Also lets say you want to start using WE or I suppose any screen reader on a remote pc, lets say an end users machine or a server that you need to manage. Have you found a way to remotely install WE or another screen reader? At this point until its installed you would not have a screen reader on the target system. I'm thinking of eg using msiexec or a script etc to remotely install the AT software on a computer you will want to manage via RDP.

Hi Mika, As for using WE for RDP, so far for me it is working quite well. Basically you install WE on the serer or other windows machine you want to connect to. Depending on your setup and requirements, you will have some configuration to do to get the local copy of WE talking, but it isn't all that complicated. After it is set up, you simply run Remote Desktop on your local computer, connect to the machine you want and WE starts reading everything on the host as if it were local. At work I have RDP set up so I can access 5 different Windows 2008R2 servers. On some of them I haven't got Braille working but it does on others. I am sure it is a setting I missed somewhere and I'll figure it out eventually. We could argue for days as to if using RDP and WE is the best thing to do in a production environment, but so far it is working for me.

Hi, If you have another voice say from Jaws, NVDA, etc. would you need to buy it again in order to use with WE? I would also be interested how people use WE for RDP.

Hi, Yes it is the full version with the exception that it comes with no Braille hotkey guide, no unlimited tech support and Espeak and Microsoft Platform speech, so you have to buy other voices, such as Eloquence, Dectalk or Vocalizer if you want them. it's pretty exciting though.

Wow. There has to be more to this. I know on the site it says fully functional, but is it really? How could GW make moey from this? On the other side of things, With this, what could be only called partnership, between GW Micro and Microsoft, maybe Microsoft will work more closely with Window Eyes to make their OS and applications more accessible with it. Unlikely, but I can live in hope.

Hi all, Very interesting development, especially as WindowEyes has in my view the best RDP support out there. Andrew. Jan-14-2014 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Fort Wayne, Indiana (January 14, 2014) - GW Micro, Inc. (www.gwmicro.com<http://www.gwmicro.com>) is proud to make a revolutionary announcement. GW Micro and Microsoft Corp. have partnered to make Window-Eyes available to users of Microsoft Office at no cost. Window-Eyes is a screen reader that enables people who are blind, visually impaired, or print disabled to have full access to Windows PCs and makes the computer accessible via speech and/or Braille. To better deliver Window-Eyes to the people who need it most, GW Micro and Microsoft have collaborated on this global initiative, available in over 15 languages, to enable anyone using Microsoft Office 2010 or later to also use Window-Eyes for free. Access to technology is critical to people who are blind or visually impaired in order to have the same opportunity to compete in the workplace. As such, this initiative between GW Micro and Microsoft has the potential to reduce barriers for millions of people who are blind or visually impaired around the world. As the population ages, technologies like Window-Eyes will become more and more important as the number of people with age-related macular degeneration and other retinal degenerative diseases increases. "This significant change in the way we are doing business reflects the changing perception of accessibility and also technology in general. Rather than wait for the world to change, Microsoft and GW Micro are leading the way," said Dan Weirich, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for GW Micro. Weirich believes this technology can help millions of people gain access to their PC, and that providing it free of charge will open a whole new world of assistive technology to many people. In light of the rapidly changing face of technology and specifically, the changing face of assistive technology, the combined efforts of GW Micro and Microsoft have the goal of providing accessibility to people who are blind and visually impaired for the long term. Microsoft continues to take accessibility seriously. “By partnering with GW Micro in this endeavour we are demonstrating Microsoft’s on-going commitment to provide all of our customers with the technology and tools to help each person be productive in both their work and personal lives.” said Rob Sinclair, Chief Accessibility Officer for Microsoft. Eligible customers, using Microsoft Office 2010 or higher, will be able to download a full version of Window-Eyes starting today at www.WindowEyesForOffice.com<http://www.WindowEyesForOffice.com>. The website provides download instructions as well as additional details about this offer. GW Micro, Inc. (www.gwmicro.com<http://www.gwmicro.com>) has been a trusted pioneer in the adaptive technology industry since 1990, and continues to lead with innovative, customer driven solutions. Contact: Dan Weirich, VP of Sales and Marketing dan(a)gwmicro.com<mailto:dan@gwmicro.com> (260) 489-3671 All the best, Ibrahim. -- To find out more about BCAB and the benefits that membership can bring, please visit our website: http://www.bcab.org.uk/ To manage your subscription to the BCAB mailing list, please visit our website: http://www.bcab.org.uk/bcab-discussion-list/ To discuss matters relating to the mailing list, please email moderator(a)bcab.org.uk. _______________________________________________ Blind-sysadmins mailing list Blind-sysadmins(a)lists.hodgsonfamily.org http://lists.hodgsonfamily.org/listinfo/blind-sysadmins _______________________________________________ Blind-sysadmins mailing list Blind-sysadmins(a)lists.hodgsonfamily.org http://lists.hodgsonfamily.org/listinfo/blind-sysadmins _______________________________________________ Blind-sysadmins mailing list Blind-sysadmins(a)lists.hodgsonfamily.org http://lists.hodgsonfamily.org/listinfo/blind-sysadmins This message contains information from Neighborhood Health Plan that may be confidential or privileged.

FYI the web GUI on at least the DS411 Synology model is almost unusable with JFW. It is possible to enable ssh and edit the Samba and other configuration files. Buyer beware.
