Ctrl-Alt-Del on a MacBookPro
I have a MacBookPro running Mountain Lion 10.8. I used "BootCamp" to load Windows 7 Pro. That went fine but after setting the computer up on our domain and restarting Windows I can't perform a control alt delete. Apple wants me to call Microsoft and Microsoft wants me to call Apple. Does anyone have any wisdom on this matter?

Hit "alt" - "apple" - "esc"

It looks like this is the table for the Macbook Pro keyboard:

Looks like the key combination is one of the following:
Control + Option + [backspace]
Control + Option + fn+[delete]
Control + Option + fn+[. (period)]

Try pressing fn+alt/option key(this causes it to be alt)+control+delete
Function-control-option-de
Control+ (alt/option) + Delete will open the task manager
It won't, actually, because the Windows will interpret that as Control-Alt-Backspace.
To get control-alt-delete on a Mac, you need to type control-alt-Fn-Delete.

I do want to thank all those who gave legitimate suggestions but none of them worked. I actually tried the keyboard solution after posting my question and it worked. After logging into my potential answers, I tried them all but to no avail. So I accepted the suggestion that worked for me. Thanks again.
