So, a while back I created what I consider a neat .NET program. It opens a remote desktop session to a Virtual Machine we have running on VMWare and logs into the machine. Then, if the remote session is closed, it shuts down the computer. It did have the downside that the remote session could, of course, be minimized and the users could access the computer. We've got some Neoware boxes now, but these were good for some training sessions we were doing throughout the company.
In any case, I found out today that the shells of all these laptops had been replaced by my program. That means no taskbar, and it pretty much locks out the computer completely. But, I swear, I swear! that nobody had told me about this change. It took me about 20 minutes before I gave up trying to fix one of these laptops and asked, only to be assured that I had agreed to this crazy idea. It's pretty cool, I have to admit. But, now getting the computers back is going to be a pain. And, here I thought the program could just be removed from Windows Startup folder.
Acronis, here I come!
