Apparently, if you have UAC turned off, and requiring ctrl+alt+del turned on in Vista, UltraVNC can't send a ctrl+alt+del to the remote computer.

Reading through some UltraVNC documentation, it says there is a way to get the on-screen keyboard to send this, but trying to follow their instructions doesn't work.

The instruction is at the bottom of this page here:
http://www.uvnc.com/vista/

I can't seem to find any other reference to how to do this with the on-screen keyboard.

Any ideas of how to do this??

This is a work environment, UAC needs to stay off, and require ctrl+alt+del has to stay on.

Thanks for any help.

Nope, trying to bring up the login prompt after a reboot. No taskbar there, but we can bring up the on screen keyboard.

wont work for him in this particular situation ....

to OP
now, not being 100% on this ... but can't you setup a macro for it??

and when i think about it ... isnt there a function/setting under msconfig that forces the system to boot to the login page?

Yes there is a function somewhere on the system that will force to the loggin prompt. Surely that would fix the issue, but its been so long I have no clue where its located.

Ok, I'll see if I can dig around it and find that. The other reason we would need it is to get past screensaver lockdown, and I'm not sure this will help with that, but I haven't tried it yet...

greyharte · 09-03-08, 05:03 PM

yeah ... the more i think about it a macro wont work either ... but im almost positive that the function is in msconfig ... as for the screensaver i think the only way around that remotely is to reboot

in Vmware it is Ctrl Alt Insert

check VNC to see if there is a setting, you can also click a button to have VMware send the Ctrl Alt Del combo.

Button to send C-A-D does nothing.

turn on the screen saver for 1 min and ask for password, after it reboots to windows - will go to screen saver and tadda! login window when you connect.

torin3 · 09-04-08, 06:40 AM

Well, I couldn't find anything in Msconfig or Gpedit that would let it boot automatically to the username/password prompt.

I'm not sure how this would help. One of my accounts has the passworded screensaver, and you still have to send ctrl+alt+del to get to the username/password.

Mr.Guvernment · 09-04-08, 09:43 AM

server 2008 you need to do the ctrl+ regular vista though should just show the User, their avatar and the password field, at least it does for me on my 2 vista buisness machines i have, i use RealVNC all the time and just enter in my password.

torin3 · 09-05-08, 12:58 PM

It may be because we are on a domain, but when coming back from screensaver, I see this:

Press CTRL + ALT + DELETE to unlock this computer
name (DOMAIN\user) is logged on

There is a switch user button, but that takes me to a screen that says:

Press CTRL + ALT + DELETE to log on

So I'm still stuck trying to find a way to use the onscreen keyboard to send a ctrl+alt+del.

Until this is fixed in VNC, why not use Remote Desktop?
