Getting to the CTRL+ALT+DEL menu within multiple nested RDP sessions
Just a short article today, but hopefully a useful one.
If you have multiple nested RDP sessions, CTRL+ALT+DEL and CTRL+ALT+END won’t be sufficient to open the menu in order to reset your password, etc.
On-screen keyboard might be useful via typing osk.exe in to the start menu, but that didn’t work for me either.
What did work is to create a desktop shortcut to the following location, within the nested RDP session;
𝗖:\𝗪𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗼𝘄𝘀\𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗿.𝗲𝘅𝗲 𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗹:::{𝟮𝟱𝟱𝟵𝗮𝟭𝗳𝟮-𝟮𝟭𝗱𝟳-𝟭𝟭𝗱𝟰-𝗯𝗱𝗮𝗳-𝟬𝟬𝗰𝟬𝟰𝗳𝟲𝟬𝗯𝟵𝗳𝟬}
Opening that then got the CTRL+ALT+DEL menu open, where I could reset my password.
