Control Alt End On Mac

If you use Remote Desktop to administer a PC that's running VNC, you may be wondering how to send the Ctrl-Alt-Del command (Control-Alternate-Delete) from a Mac to the PC. Though Mac and PC key mapping differs, you can use an alternate key combination in Remote Desktop 2.0 and later to send the command. Dus als je in Windows omgeving bent ingelogd en hij gaat in de ”slaapstand”, dien je Windows te ontgrendelen met ctrl-alt-del. Ik zit via mijn Mac in een Windows omgeving en moet dan dus met Mac toetsenbord ontgrendelen. Margreet 20 mei 2016 @ 09:14. Ctrl Alt Delete on Mac.

Problem

Colleague: Windows Server, Where’s Windows Security gone?

Mac Keyboard Control Alt Delete Windows

Me: Eh?

Colleague: Windows Security!

Me: What are you trying to do?

Colleague: I want to change my password and I can’t send a Ctrl+Alt+Delete to the remote server.

I wasn’t aware that in Server 2008 and earlier if you were connected via RDP you got a ‘Windows Security’ option that lets you do the same, like so;

This is because if you press Ctrl+Alt+Delete it will execute on YOUR machine not the remote one. But this option is not included in Windows 2012 any more.

Solution

Well you can just normally use Ctrl+Alt+END while in an RDP session. But like me, my colleague was using a Mac and we don’t have an END key!

If your RDP connected from OSX then use Ctrl+Alt+Fn+Backspace

If your RDP connected using a Mac Keyboard, or from a VM session on your Mac (i.e. from a VMware Fusion Windows Machine), then use Ctrl+Alt+Fn+Right-Arrow.
