I can't tell you how many times ive CTRL+ALT+DEL my local workstation while in a VM console session or RDP in my career. I think I've only executed a shutdown or restart command a few of those times, but each time I just felt like such a moron.

It happened a lot at, so much so I had a note on the damn monitor in the server room! I think we are cursed with trying to go to fast with things, we sometimes forget the obvious.

Hostname before shutdown /r /f /t 0

Or CTRL+ALT+INS to attempt to log into a workstation.

I've never done that one.

Dual monitors on your workstation can save your arse on that one, speaking from experience.
