Q: Hi there, Im back
Here, non-scripting System Administrator,: D looking for your help.
I did not know whether it belonged in OS or software, but that it is an OS (WinXP) I have here .
I run a domain at home. I have five boxes that run F @ H and other things to do, all the boxes have the same username and password. When Im done with them, I lock the desktop for security reasons. I control it all from a script written box.
Can one that when I run, the desktops of all the boxes open? I.e. It would be “Hit” CTRL-ALT-DEL “and enter the correct username and password?
Thanks for your help.:)
Re:I've never done F@H, but I was VERY involved with the original TeamAnandTech DNet project.
Couple of possibilites. DNet had an option where a client could email you the logs on a regular basis… is is possible the F@H also does and could send you updates from each machine?
The other thought is that you just create a shortcut on your desktop to each of the folders on the other machines that hold the log files and you could just look at them every now and then.

Re:Thanks guys.
I leave myself logged in b/c the boxes are at home and nobody lives here but me. 
Just trying to save myself some time when I check on my Folding boxes from time to time.
I have four of my six boxes on a KVM (only three on the KVM fold, however)
I'll check out the options. Thanks again for your help. :beer:
Re:Ultr@VNC can do Ctrl+Alt+Delete as long as it is installed as a service on the client machines.
Re:Why are you leaving the machines logged in?
The application should run as a service, so you can start/stop the service remotely, w/o logging in to the console.
…and he's right…C-A-D isn't scriptable.
Re:This can't be scripted, it would be a security risk. Now you can lock the console of a machine using PsShutdown (http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/psshutdown.shtml) from Sysinternals.com.
Are you using remote control software on the machines or accessing them through a KVM? If you are using remote control software you may be able to record a Macro that will do this for you.
