Q: how to restart the remote machine in a remote desktop connection?

Not: Ctrl+Alt+ *del* that is a local sequence.

Use Ctrl+Alt+ *END*

When we click the remote desktop connection icon, a dialog box is popped up.
In the option, I select "local resources". In the keyboard section, I
choose key combinations to be sent to the remote computer (acutally I tried
all the three options), but it still fails. That is, ctrl-alt-del is sent
to the local machine.

That is not how it works at my end, when I Ctrl+Alt+End and shutdown it
shuts down the remote and the local stays on. I don't know why it would
be different on your machine.

Hi John,

Ctrl+Alt+End is for the local machine, not for the remote machine. The
shutdown command totally disappears from the Start button (at the
left-bottom corner of the screen) of the remote machine. Thanks for any
further help.

Ctrl+Alt+End or use the Shutdown command. You could have easily found
this information with a search on the internet.

Hi,

When accessing another computer using a "Remote desktop connection", I
occasionally need to reboot (restart) the remote machine. Is it
possible? It seems that the "Restart" option is disabled from anywhere,
including the start menu and the task manager. Any help is much
apprecated.

You don't say how you're remoting, but most programs won't let you send
the shut down or restart commands for security reasons, plus they'll
often only be captured and used for your own machine.
Look for a special command to use in order to send a restart
command. In mine it's a function key.
Realize also that when it restarts, your connection to the other
machine is going to be gone (modems, routers etc. all reset too), so
unless you have it manned, it has to be set to allow you to reconnect
after the restart or to search out your own machine. There are
different methods for this too unless you have someone at the remote
machine to allow/deny the re-access for you. I'm assuming no one is
there since you want to do it remotely though.

I haven't looked thru the string of posts with JD but it doesn't look
solved yet so perhaps some of this will help you out.

Just how are you trying to set things up and is the other machine set up
to reaccess it?

Hi Twayne,

Thank you for your answer. I still didn't find the reason why the shutdown
command is missing from my task manager and the start menu. However, John
already taught me to use ctrl-alt-end (not ctrl-alt-del) to shut down the
remote machine. It works on my machine. I am happy enough and feel it's
not necessary to figure out why the shutdown command is missing. Thank you
so much for your help as well.
