Ctrl-Alt-End not working

Hi Everyone -

We are testing remote access using RDP and Shadowing
of the console.

It works great - UNTIL - the console user locks the screen
or the screen saver kicks in and locks the console.

I've read that the ctrl-alt-end will do the same as ctrl-alt-del
and bring up the security panel -

BUT IT ISN'T WORKING.

I've tried two keyboards, and accessed the remote dekstop from
XP and W2K EE, but no worky worky.

Am i missing something, or is there a workaround or patch?

thanks
tony
 
Vera -

Thats exactly what the problem is....

Do you have a link to the hotfix??

thanks
 
As the KB article says, this hotfix is not available for general
download. Just phone Microsoft Support and ask for the specific
hotfix. If you don't ask any other support questions during the
same call, you will get the hotfix mailed to you without any costs.

Or install SP1.

Hi Vera,

thanks for the help -
i called and received the hotfix -

but it still doesn't work.

The installation program aborts stating there are already newer
updates installed.


I am already running SP1 of 2k3EE
and the remote systems are also running 2k3EE with SP1

Any other ideas???

thanks
tony
 
Does Ctrl-Alt-End bring up the normal security window when you use
it in an active rdp session?
If it doesn't then your problem has nothing to do with the hotfix
issue, since that problem was a rights issue.

Hi Vera,

Ctrl-Alt-End does not bring up the security window.

Please advise on other possibilities.

thanks

What are the settings in the rdp client under Options - Local
resources - Keyboard?

Hi Vera -

"On the remote computer"

Is the selection choice.

I have tried all three of the settings, but to no avail.

Thanks for your help on this!!

take care
tony
