Q. How can I send the Ctrl-Alt-Del secure attention sequence to a Remote Desktop session?

A. Even if you configure your Remote Desktop session to send all key sequences to the remote desktop, Ctrl-Alt-Del will act on the user's local machine (by design). To send Ctrl-Alt-Del to a remote desktop, use Ctrl-Alt-End instead.
