Unlock locked PC with Administrator
At our company we use Windows Vista Enterprise SP2. Via the group policy we turned of Fast user switching.Now, when a computer is locked ,we cannot unlock this computer with an administrator account.
In Windows XP, when a computer is locked, you see the message:This computer is in use and has been lockedonly DOMAIN\user or an administrator can unlock this computer
Is there a way to to this in Windows Vista/7?
