Ctrl+Alt+Del

When remote accessing a server, occasionally the login screen will not accept Ctrl+Alt+Del, has anyone else experienced this or found a way around it?

When you say 'occasionally' -- does this mean the exact same server might work one day and not the next? Or it consistently won't work on a specific server? Can you try running this via CLI? 
$value = (Get-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System" -Name "SoftwareSASGeneration" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue).SoftwareSASGeneration

if ($value -eq $null) {
    Write-Host "SoftwareSASGeneration registry value not found" -ForegroundColor Yellow
} elseif ($value -eq 1 -or $value -eq 3) {
    Write-Host "SoftwareSASGeneration value is $value - OK" -ForegroundColor Green
} else {
    Write-Host "SoftwareSASGeneration value is $value - Should be 1 or 3" -ForegroundColor Red
}
$value = (Get-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System" -Name "SoftwareSASGeneration" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue).SoftwareSASGeneration

if ($value -eq $null) {
    Write-Host "SoftwareSASGeneration registry value not found" -ForegroundColor Yellow
} elseif ($value -eq 1 -or $value -eq 3) {
    Write-Host "SoftwareSASGeneration value is $value - OK" -ForegroundColor Green
} else {
    Write-Host "SoftwareSASGeneration value is $value - Should be 1 or 3" -ForegroundColor Red
}
