A quick press and the system is secured from any would be mischief-doers, and a smart Technical Support Engineer remembers this when he gets up from his desk in VMware GSS.
The HR folks would probably be unhappy at such an unauthorized use, but a quick flip of the screen with Ctrl-Alt-Up and a dash back to your desk, leaving their display inverted and the surrounding engineers glancing over for the inevitable reaction, was worth the risk.Īll the “fun” of fixing your machine when you got back to your desk could have been prevented by hitting those three little keys we all know: Ctrl-Alt-Del. Works every time.When I was still working as an Escalation Engineer for VMware® Global Support, there was a time-honored tradition among the Broomfield center’s EUC support group: If you left your computer unlocked and walked out of eyesight, you’d always come back to a surprise. So, to send Ctrl+ Alt+ Del to a remote machine, simply use the OSK to send Ctrl+ Alt+ End from the session just before the remote machine you are trying to send it to. If I try to use the On-Screen Keyboard to send Ctrl+ Alt+ Del on ANY of those three machines, it refers me to the Start menu, which does not help me at all. If I want to send Ctrl+ Alt+ Del to Computer C, I open the On-Screen Keyboard on Computer B and use it to type Ctrl+ Alt+ End, which sends Ctrl+ Alt+ Del to Computer C If I want to send Ctrl+ Alt+ Del to Computer B, I type Ctrl+ Alt+ End from Computer A
If I want to send Ctrl+ Alt+ Del to Computer A, I type Ctrl+ Alt+ Del from Computer A Here's the scenario: I RDP from Computer A to Computer B and from Computer B to Computer C.
Keep in mind that my environment is primarily Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2. That's just how I prefer to work, especially with lots of VMs. I frequently work with nested RDP sessions that go in several levels deep.
