UltraVNC

The way UVNC is designed, if you run the server as an application instead of as a service, it executes taskmgr.exe instead of actually sending CTRL-ALT-DEL. I'm assuming this is some sort of work around. With the current version of UVNC (1.0.8.2) it is impossible to send CAD unless you enable UAC. I ...

Solved.

You cannot have UAC set to "Never Notify" in Windows 7. This is a bit annoying since we don't want users to have to deal with UAC popups, but at least Ctrl-Alt-Del works now which is more important.

Alright, if I run UltraVNC Server not as service, task manager opens as expected. If I install it and run it as a service, currently nothing happens. This is back to my original problem.

Since it managed to break again somehow, I'll try to find the steps to resolution again.

I've managed to get it working. I deleted ultravnc.ini and started over. The odd thing is, when I restore the old INI file, that also works now. I wish I knew what changed so it could help others who encounter this.

Possibly something with file permissions.

Also using the 64-bit UVNC install, if that helps.

UVNC is running as a system service. Ctrl-Alt-F4 does nothing. The 'Send Ctrl+Alt+Del to host' button does nothing. I am not behind any firewalls, I did notice other threads related to that and CAD.exe. This is not just a delayed CAD, it never occurs. I've had the PC sitting for several hours after ...

I've been trying to figure this out myself. I'm patiently waiting on a new release that fixes the problems with Windows 7, but it seems like few people have even tested it? In addition to the above problems, Ctrl-Alt-Del is wonky or completely broken in Windows 7. I don't understand why something as ...
