Possible Vmware JFW scripts
by Andrew Hodgson 28 Sep '09

28 Sep '09

Hi all, Came across this on the Vinux user list. Thanks. Andrew. -----Original Message----- From: vinux-development(a)googlegroups.com [mailto:vinux-development@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Chris Hallsworth Sent: 28 September 2009 19:39 To: vinux-development(a)googlegroups.com Subject: [VINUX] Announcement: VMware Scripts 1.0 is released! Hello all, Don has once again asked me to pass on the following announcement, which is below. Enjoy, and happy virtuallization! Hi Chris, Here is a package I hope is about 95% finished! I added a lot of functionality to Workstation to get information from the Summary dialogs (Alt + S), and navigate around this multi-page Summary dialog. Move to the list in the dialog with Alt + D. With several complex functions that the user is unaware of, it is possible to Tab around this dialog and get to all of the controls. The tree view in the optional Sidebar is I think, the best way to check tree status of all Virtual Machines. Again, there are a few functions that automatically report the status as you arrow up and down in the tree view. A few things I could not decide, since I am not a power user. 1. VMware normally does not place the focus anywhere in the application. Where is the best place to force the application to focus? I started writing a function, PlaceFocus, to determine which window was active and place the focus in an appropriate place. After using the application a little and attempting to magnify the screen enough to somewhat understand the layout, I might want to change that concept. A simpler approach would be to require that the Sidebar is enabled and place the focus on the Running and Favorites tree view in the Sidebar. It currently forces this focus when opening or switching to Workstation (AutoStartEvent) and when using Control + Tab (NexVMWindow) to switch between VM windows. What do you think? 2. In the VMware player, I added a script to start the selected VM in the Recently Opened VM list when the Enter key is pressed. I have not decided what action to take if the Enter key is pressed on a VM in the Running and Favorites tree view. There is a script for the Enter key, SelectVM, that can perform what we choose. It currently moves the focus to the Device Details list view on the Summary dialog. 3. I have debug SayMessage statements that help locate an issue if one arises. Most users should never be aware they are there. To make it easier to enable when needed, i have added the required lines in the jCF file. Since the JSX packager will not carry over comment lines whemn merging JCF files. I needed another approach. There are two choices. I currently have the Debug statements enabled when verbosity is set to Advanced. This of course, might piss off people who normally have verbosity set to addvanced! Anither option would be to have all 0's in the line below so that Debug statements are disabled until you open the JCF file in an text editor and change the appropriate 0 to a 1. Which do you think is best? [OutputModes] ; Will speak all of the OT_DEBUG messages when in Advanced Verbosity DEBUG=0|0|1|DEBUG Message There are a few minor things I need to fix, such as not being able to get back to the Summary dialog if you navigate to a optional Tab like "Package" that does not have a list view. I have not added logic yet to catch every strange situation such as the Sidebar not being present or in full screen. These are not difficult, but the questions above need to be decided. As usual. you or anyone else can get the latest (today) version at: http://mysite.verizon.net/marangs/VMware.html Feel free to spread the word and distribute our scripts when you think they are ready. Pass back any changes, comments, bugs, suggestions and ideas. I will do my best to work then into our package. Perhaps I should staart misspelling a few key words to make it more UK English? Like change "dialog" to "dialogue"? -- Chris Hallsworth E-mail: christopherh40(a)googlemail.com MSN: ch9675(a)hotmail.com Skype: chrishallsworth7266 Yahoo!

Win 2k3 64 and screen readers
by Frank Ventura 26 Sep '09

26 Sep '09

Hi all, I have inherited the responsibility of managing a Dell PE 2900 with Win 2k3. Since it has 8 gigs of memory I assume it is the 64 bit version of Win 2k3. Does anyone know what screen reader(s) I can get to work on it. Can the 64 bit version of JFW work in this scenario? Also on a related note if I have the service tag from the server is there anywhere on the Dell site where I can punch it in and find out just what equipment it was built with? Thanks Frank

Ryan, thanks. I haven't gotten my hands on the box yet so I am not sure. I know it wouldn't be Data center edition but Enterprise x86 ... hmm, maybe. It is an ex web server being demoted to file server duties. I will pretty much have carte blanche to manage it so I wonder if I cannot get a screen reader on it could I upgrade to Win2k8 Std 64 bit? Would there be drivers for that install? Thanks Frank -----Original Message----- From: blind-sysadmins-bounces(a)lists.hodgsonfamily.org [mailto:blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org] On Behalf Of Ryan Shugart Sent: Saturday, September 26, 2009 12:05 AM To: Blind sysadmins list Subject: Re: [Blind-sysadmins] Win 2k3 64 and screen readers Hi Frank: I don't know about JAWS, but Window-Eyes will absolutely not work. You'll need Vista or later because they only have a 64-bit mirror driver. Do you know what the server does, what software's installed on it, etc.? If the server is running Windows 2003 Enterprise or Datacenter, then even the 32-bit version will work with the 8GB of memory, I'm not entirely sure how or why that's possible, but I think the 32-bit version of Enterprise supports up to 12GB, and Datacenter supports up to 64GB. I'd need to do some research to find the exact numbers though. I know a lot of people stuck to the 32-bit version of 2003 due to compatability purposes, a lot of non Microsoft apps just didn't like 64-bit Windows back in the days of 2003.

Oh, OK that makes sense. At least they were responsive to your query.

Ok, so I figured out the difference. Some of the stuff like the partial releases is available via URL with the same system that was in place in the past. That works fine. IF you have content on the new DL manager though like the major releases, linksys firmware, vpn clients, and most widely distributed production items you'll be out of luck.

Yup, ran into this the other day.
