Yet more Remote Desktop goodness....

Ok, so this may be something everyone knows, but I just found out today. VNC has had the ability to do this from day one, so it's weird there is not a menu command for it using Remote Desktop.

I was terminaled into a server today and needed to change the password on my user account for that machine. (Windows 2000). So I really wanted to do a "CTRL + ALT + DEL". When I would do that, I of course would get the dialogue for my machine, not the box I was termed into.

Press "CTRL + ALT + END" that brings up the dialogue for the machine you are terminaled into.

There are some other shortcut combinations on this site as well. Good stuff.

Another method: when you RDP into a machine, and start a new session, Windows adds "Windows Security" or something like that to the Start Menu (different places depending on the version). This menu option lets you do most of what Ctrl+Alt+Delete does...

I thought it was supposed to do that too.

I looked all over and could not find it, this was a windows 2k box. So maybe only in newer versions?

Thanks for the tip.
