Ctrl Alt Delete on RDP with Macbook installed windows 7

Question

I have Macbook with Windows 7 installed and connected to Windows 2012 server with Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection. How can I run Ctrl + Alt + Delete on Windows 2012 Server?

Thanks in advance.

This is what worked for me on my Macbook Pro using Yosemite (10.10.2) and the official RDP client from Microsoft while connected to a Windows 2012R2 server:

fn+control+alt+delete

this sends CTRL+ALT+DEL to the local machine not the remote machine – Matthew Lock Dec 31 '16 at 04:20

@MatthewLock it should send it to the remote machine in full screen mode – Tom Kidd Jun 02 '17 at 17:15

It is Ctrl-Alt-End - regardless of what OS you are running on the client. – cdavid Sep 07 '14 at 18:45

there is no End button on Mac – Sam Salim Sep 16 '14 at 08:24

Yes, there is. It is a virtual key that you can achieve by pressing the physical keys: Fn and right arrow. – cdavid Sep 16 '14 at 17:09
This is the correct answer, the other answer doesn't work as stated in the comments – Oly Dungey Sep 06 '17 at 09:14
My issue was that I log into the MACBook, VPN into corporate, RDP to my office PC, VPN into the production environment, RDP to the machine that I needed to send Ctrl-Alt-Del to. But it kept going to the middle machine, not the third in the chain. THIS solution got it where I needed it. Thanks. – Jesse Chisholm Mar 28 '22 at 18:09

I cannot comment on other answers because of my "reputation points". What worked for me was slm but in this format:

fn+control+option+delete

MAC keyboard.

This works for sending to Remote Desktop Connection on Mac OS. I was routed here while searching the key combination for this purpose. – DontCopyThatFloppy Apr 07 '20 at 15:28

*prior suggestions didn't work* and yet this is an almost verbatim copy of a previous answer. If you don't have anything new or different to add then pleaser don't. – Apr 09 '18 at 14:43
the **almost** answer didn't work for me, so I posted what did work – QuattroCS Feb 28 '19 at 20:03
Yes, the value in this answer is that the other answers specify an "alt" key, and Macs don't have alt keys. – Todd Wilcox Apr 15 '19 at 19:20

What I find best to use the ease of access feature and enable the on-screen keyboard and then click ctrl+alt+del and it sends the command and allows me to type in the password, then just turn off the feature and close the keyboard.

I am using citrix in MacBook. In citrix (windows 10) i'm running Remote Desktop (windows server 2014) fn+ctrl+command+right-arrow works perfect. Other options doesn't work.

Following combination worked for me on MacOS Catalina ( 10.15.7 ) - fn+ctrl+option+delete.

RDP OS was Windows 10.

The other combination with command and right arrow didn't worked for me.
