Hi, Am looking for a few pointers on how to disable Ctrl,Alt,Del at system startup.

I understand that I need to do this to enable me to use Terminal Services to administer my server from another machine ... is this correct as I am new to Terminal Services?

Currently I can connect to my server from another machine but when presented with the "Ctrl,Alt,Del to log on" promt, I cannot log on as Ctrl,Alt,Del on the remote machine obviously starts Task Manager,etc.

Is there a workaround when presented with this promt or do I have to disable Crtl,Alt,Del at start up on my server???

...If so how do I do this?

Many thanks in advance!

Regards

Rob.

Ctrl, Alt + Del is always used on the local machine. You can send the same key combination to the remote machine by using Ctrl, Alt + End.

If you did want to disable this prompt at login, you can do so in the Local Security Policy for the server.

Go to Control Panel -> Administrative Tools ->
Local Security Policy. Browse to Local Policies -
> Security Options.
On the right windows pane, scroll down until you
find Interactive logon: Do not require
CTRL+ALT+DEL, double click and then select
Enabled

It's taken from w2k3 but I think it should work for w2k too
