Vnc

jerryhz · 02-07-2009, 03:25 PM

I installed real VNC server on my office PC. I locked my office PC. Now at home, I can remotely connect to my office PC. However, using Alt-Ctr-Del, I cannot unlock my office PC remotely. Using Alt-Ctr-Del will only lock my local home PC. Is that because VNC doesn't support Alt-Ctr-Del? If I want to remotely control my office PC, I cannot lock my office PC. Is that right?

Thanks for your help!

I'm not sure if there is something like it on VNC, but with Dameware, there is an icon that simulates the alt+ctrl+del combo (along with other icons for other combos) on the remote PC.
Check the icons in the remote control window for a similar icon. Sorry I cant be more specific, but as I said I use Dameware on our work network and have not used VNC. But hope this gives you something to look into

You can simulate a Ctrl-Alt-Del with UltraVNC. Right click on the title bar (anywhere in the blue bar), and you'll get a menu with lots of options, including Ctrl-Alt-Del to the remote machine.
