Enhancement: Send Ctrl-Alt-Del to remote computer

[stevesobol]

This is something I need in order to be able to properly support the handful of remote IT clients I have. I've been researching the Win32 SendSAS function, and I think I can use it to add this functionality to Remotely, but I was curious if anyone else has already started adding the C-A-D functionality.

There's a Ctrl+Alt+Del button in the menu.

Is that a new thing? I don't see it.

Ahhhh... Remotely must be installed as a service. That makes sense. SendSAS only works with a signed binary or if used from a Windows service. Since I'm planning on using Remotely for unattended access, and will install it as a service on all of the computers I support, we're good. I'm guessing that this option will also be available if I have someone run a signed .exe to create an ad-hoc connection; is this correct?

Thanks.

Signing the binary will not enable the option. For SendSAS to work from a non-service process, it must have the UIAccess flag set in the manifest. From what I've read, it seems like the flag is only intended to be used by accessibility software. Requirements are listed here.

I didn't even attempt using that, as I'm guessing there could be repercussions for abusing it.

So the button will only be shown if the agent is installed as a service. Clicking the button sends the request to the agent, not the streamer in the desktop.
