holy google! this is the third time in like a week i was randomly searching for an answer to a tech problem and my first hit was your blog. very impressive!!! as a fellow louisianian i say good job!!!
Doesn’t seem to work on VMware Server 2.0′s web based client (which seems to be a Firefox extension). To make matters worse, it doesn’t even have a Ctrl+Alt+Delete menu option.
ok the first thing i had to consider before answering this question was which software i was using to get into the pc i was trying to restart… this took a min because on this macbook i have 3 vmware parallels and also cord…
i wanted to find a way that would let me control the restart ie shutdown process completly…
go to command prompt and run the standard
shutdown -i
this will allow you to choose how you want the pc to shutdown…
great when you need to kill your media server in the closet
hope this ends the discussion on this but alas if we could pick up another one …
Well I have to say (as many others have) – really useful tips. I locked a terminal session today and would have needed to reboot the production server if it wasn’t for ctrl-alt-enter which I found here. Thanks from UK.
I’m using an iMac with an apple wireless keyboard which doesn’t have a lot of the keys mentioned in the posts above but I did figure out that Ctrl-Alt-Fn-Delete provides the ctrl alt del functionality when using CoRD.

Thanks – the ctrl+alt+insert left by a commenter helped me out with my vmware infrastrucure issue.

What if there are two hops involved (ie PC -> TS1 -> TS2)? Is there any way of sending ctrl+alt+delete to TS2?
May 19th, 2009 - 15:57
On Vmware 2.+ try

Ctrl-Alt-Fn-Delete did it for me (using CoRD, and no “PrntScrn” or “End” on this macbook…), thanks!
