How to unlock (cltr-alt-end) on Apple MAC
Some of our clients use the MAC connector to connect to our vWorkspace VDI environment.
We have setup a screensaver that locks the screen after some minutes.
On a windows PC, the user can press CTRL-ALT-END to unlock the screen.
However, on MAC's without the END button, users can't get out of this unlock screen.
We have tried different combinations, but nothing seems to work.
Any idea's?

I managed to get the following key function to work Command-option-control-fn-Right arrow
tested it, and it works

Amazing how many people answered a question different from the one being asked, namely how to send ctrl-alt-end (not ctrl-alt-del) (needed for communicating with a windows machine via Remote Desktop connection).
I agree that fn-control-option-rightArrow works for sending ctrl-alt-end
Thanks!

There are a few different ways to unlock a MAC when you don't have the END button:
1. Use the Fn + Ctrl + Option + Power button shortcut.
2. Use the Fn + Shift + Option + F12 shortcut.
3. Use the Fn + Option + Command + Esc shortcut.
4. Use the Fn + Command + Option + Esc shortcut.
5. Use the Fn + Control + Option + Shift + Power button shortcut.
6. Use the Fn + Control + Option + Shift + F12 shortcut.
7. Use the Fn + Control + Option + Shift + Option + F12 shortcut.

when pressing the macintosh keys for ctrl and alt without requiring end right esc or delete simply use on screen keyboard to click the required key or use a microsoft oem usb keyboard

@DELL-David Y then theres another step once your passed the install take partitioned hd with bootcamp put it in another computer install and put it back in the mac after first expanding files reboot to allow the macintosh to register its disk controller then we see using on screen keyboard to login using the last key as its clicked completion so using magic usb keyboard hold ctrl alt and click osk-delete and upon installing bootcamp drivers you will be allowed to use the apple keyboard is left out else you need a microsoft nice oem keyboard theyre very nice ... you will also need refit

@TXHORNSFAN ok also disable driver signature enforcement and make sure device manager shows its actually installing the drivers
