As in, I cannot tab or arrow over elements, and when using object navigation, Nvda just speaks, “unknown.” Note that this only happens when I attempt to perform administrative tasks that need user elevation, and I only use my administrative credentials when needed at an UAC dialogue box. However, if I attempt to view the ADUC OU’s, domains and the like as a standard user, I can read them just fine.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>My belief is that the workstation is trying to read off GUI’S which exist on a server on the wrack, and I believe I need either the NVDA Remote Access ad-on, or the remote desktop add-on to access the Active Directory Domain normally. I would guess further that AD is caching some of the credentials on the local machine, which is why I can arrow and tab over items in ADUC as a standard user. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>I would most certainly appreciate any of your guidance about specific considerations to ask my employer about their setup when implementing this, such as correct incoming port numbers etc.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Luckily I get a fair bit of leeway as a student intern mucking about with the domain controllers, and this pertains strictly to internal campus labs, so there would be no need to negotiate connections between the LAN and the community college district’s own IT staff. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Best Regards, Amelia<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>https://addons.nvda-project.org/addons/rdAccess.en.html<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>https://nvdaremote.com/download/ <o:p></o:p></span></p></div></body></html>
