Remote computer keyboard is locked
Hi experts,
I am logging into a remote computer via a secure gateway to my work. The remote computer will not accept any keyboard input from my home laptop. I was thinking I would use a dos command shutdown -t 0 -r -f which I was able to paste into the remote desktop cmd window but I cannot figure out how to mimic the pressing ofthe enter key to activate the reboot.
In short I need to get my remote computer to start recognizing my home laptop keyboard -- obviously it accepts all mouse stuff fine.
Thanks.
