Nested Virtual / Remote Desktops and CTRL+ALT+DELETE
Just a quickie…
You need to change your password, so you use Ctrl+ALT+Delete. That’s fine, as long as you’re physically at the machine.
But if you’re connected to a remote desktop session somewhere, that key combo doesn’t get through. But you can send Ctrl+ALT+Insert to do the same thing.
What if you’re on a remote server and connected through that to another remote server (with a different set of credentials) and you need to send Ctrl+ALT+Del to that? Well, Ctrl+Alt+Del will do your local machine, Ctrl+ALT+Insert will do the top level Virtual machine… Today I learned about Ctrl+ALT+End – that’ll do the one that you’re actually looking at. Hurrah!
Ctrl+Alt+End. I know all this VDI-inside-a-VDI is all a bit Inception-y, but it does the job. Now, if only I could figure out the password complexity rules…
