[Solved] Windows XP Domain Login

Post by biabedding »

I'm sure I'll feel stupid (or even more so) when I hear the answer to this...

Host: Windows XP SP 2
Guest Windows XP SP 2 joined to our domain.
I'm running the VM via VBoxHeadless and connecting via Windows RDP from another XP desktop (not the host system). I can see the VM booting up and eveything but when I get to the login screen I have no way to sent Ctrl-Alt-Delete to start the login process. Am I missing soemthing here or should I just turn off ctrl-alt-delete login for the VMs that I create via GPO?

Windows RDP client uses Ctrl+Alt+End as shortcut for that, if it's not in full screen mode.

Ctrl-Alt-End worked (even in full screen). Thanks!

You could've googled for it you know. It's not even a VB problem, you would have gotten the same with a normal system.
