The Teacher can perform Log on, Log off, Restart, Power On, or Shutdown actions on Student computers.

Restart, Shut Down, Log Off, and Limiting actions cannot be performed on Mac Student computers with multiple users.

Log On function is disabled for Mac Student computers.

Remote Log On

Teachers will be able to log in a user on selected computers through the Teacher console. For this feature to work, the computers must be configured to hide the user account from the Windows logon screen and display the User Name and Password fields during logon.

To hide the last logged user name on a Windows welcome screen, go to Local Security Policy > Security Settings > Local Policies > Security Options > Interactive Logon: Don't Display Last Signed In (Username at Sign-in) > select Enabled. Note that this policy is disabled by default.

If CTRL+ALT+DEL is required before a user can log on to Windows, there are 2 ways to configure it:

  • Go to Local Security Policy > Security Settings > Local Policies > Security Options > Interactive Logon: Do Not Require CTRL+ALT+DELETE > select Enabled.

  • Go to Local Computer Policy > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Logon Options > Disable/Enable Software Secure Attention Sequence (or SAS).
