Ah, I misunderstood the problem. I've spent my computing life denying remote access. You could look here http://www.majorgeeks.com/mg/sortname/remote_access.html
I use majorgeeks for most of my freebie software. Reliable site and they warn if a program is ad supported.
could use a network kvm
Annnnd we've crossed right out of my realm and in to the pros. LOL
With the BIOS set to wake on LAN you can start the computer remotely with the specified packet and the boot menu will be displayed. It will start the computer as if you're doing it manually.
well there's not much that allows access to pre-OS boot menu stuff. You have things like a KVM (but for remote access a network KVM would work), otherwise if the system supported it the intel vPro stuff could possibly work. Alternatively if already in Windows you could probably edit the boot order on the fly so that the 'default' selection changes based on what you need.
Wouldn't wake on LAN with a packet, delivered through remote access software or even Windows remote , post normally and bring up the boot menu? If it shows what's on the accessed monitor it should be on the remote monitor, right?
