My company set up a mandatory screensaver/ctrl-alt-del/passwd policy on all
windows boxes, so if I don't touch my rdc screen for eleven minutes, it goes
into screensaver mode... and I don't know how to get out of it.

Hints, please? I'm running "Version 2.0.0 Beta2 (071001)"

Oh, for extra fun, I'm actually using synergy 1.3 on my Linux box to
control the Mac's keyboard/mouse... but I can't get it to work on
the Mac's own keyboard either.

I don't kow if this helps, but to send Ctrl-Alt-Del over rdp to the
host you are connected to, you use Ctrl-Alt-End from a PC (because
obviously, Ctrl-Alt-Del is handled on the local client).

Amazingly, ctrl-option-delete works from both the Mac and the (Linux)
synergy-server. Option is where the windows key normally is...

Thanks for the help!

Unfortunately, in screensaver mode it's ignoring ctrl-option-delete
from both keyboards. So I guess the real question is, "how do I
get RDC's attention?"

I'm having same problem:

Here is my problem:

1) Login to a vista pc using mac remote desktop client
2) Login to my work pc using windows remote desktop client

How can I send Ctrl-Alt-Delete to the work PC? I tried everything like Ctrl-Alt-Fn-Delete, Ctrl-Alt-Fn-Right Arrow, but they always happening host vista PC.

How can I unlock the work PC now?
