Abstract
In one example, a method for inhibiting input at a remotely-booted computer. A wake-on-LAN signal is received at the computer from a network while the computer is in a low-power state. A boot function of the computer sets an indicator indicative of a wake-on-LAN condition, the indicator accessible by an operating system of the computer. The operating system is loaded, including a filter driver for an input device of the computer. The filter driver is to intercept input from the device to a function driver for the device. When the indicator is set, input received from the input device is disregarded.
