Send Ctrl-alt-del not always working

I'm testing out the software and its going fairly well so far with one snag.  I've got a Windows 7 machine and a Windows 2008R2 server set up.  I can remote into the Windows 7 machine and hit the "send ctrl-alt-del" and get the login screen, but doing the same thing on the 2008 server is failing - it just ignores it.  I can send it with another remote control program, it just isn't working with Remote Utilities.  Is there anything I need to know or set for it to work correctly?

Hello Jeff,

To send Ctrl+Alt+Del to the remote PC, please use the corresponding command button/icon on the toolbar in the Full Control mode

That's what I'm doing.  As I mentioned, it works fine on the Windows 7 machine, but not on the 2008 machine.

Jeff,

Perhaps, the Ctrl+Alt+Del simulation is prohibited by Windows security settings on the remote PC. Can that be the case?

could it be that

Yes. Should be "enabled". In security settings for the local machine.
