Hi, Two things to add to Yuma's useful message. I use Server Admin Tools to manage more advanced services than the Server app allows and I've had no issues at all with accessibility within Server Admin Tools. For the User and Preference Management, I use Work Group Manager (WGM) which, other than the User/Group/Computer management is very accessible. The Preference Management controls aren't initially visible to VO in WGM but I have worked around this for the most part though using mouse keys. Once you navigate to the correct spot on the screen using mouse keys, you click the mouse button itself or press the "5" key and the preference controls become totally accessible. I use Leopard, Snow Leopard and Lion server at work/school to manage much of our network. As Yuma mentioned, the integrated Server App does the job for basic services but I'm quite used to using Server Admin and WGM, which are a free download from Apple, that I continue to use them with Lion Server as well.
HTH. Later...
