How to Ctrl Alt Del with a Mac and Microsoft Remote Desktop#mac #remotedesktop #password #microsoft TL;DR: press: fn + ctrl + option + delete In my current company coworkers need to change their password every 6 Months. Which does not improve the security of the company but it's still there.
The problem: Our developer computers are in a complete independent network, to access our company network we can only use a VPN and a remote desktop client to a virtual Windows machine. Problem is i recently got a mac and needed to change my password in the remote desktop session, but every settings ui is currently blocked. Therefore i needed to press ctrl + alt + del to access the password change ui. But my mac keyboard does not have a dedicated delete button.
The solution:
fn + ctrl + option + delete
must be used instead.
How do you send Ctrl-Alt-Delete when running MRD on a MacBook Pro?

Tried fn-control-option-rightarrow, but that didn't work. Neither did control-option-delete.

Hi,
If you are using Microsoft's Remote Desktop Connection to access a windows (virtual) machine, you should use the following keys: Fn + Ctrl + Opt + Delete
(function-control-option-delete), also as shown in the picture below:
