Learning has never been so easy!

We would like to show you a description here but the site won’t allow us. If you have dual or multiple monitors setup on your desktop and often use remote desktop client log into the remote terminal server, you may want to have the same screen setup over on remote desktop session as well to have more screen real state. And here is how. Dec 31, 2019 How to use Remote Desktop Multimon feature: To use this feature, you must: Connect using the Remote Desktop Client 7.0 (mstsc.exe) available initially on Windows 7/Windows Server 2008 R2. Enable Multimon using one of the three methods described below: a. Click “Use all monitors for the remote session” in the client (mstsc.exe) window. Oct 01, 2018 Microsoft RDP client for Mac does not currently support dual displays for Windows 7 Pro targets. Windows 7 Pro will support multiple monitors but only from the Windows mstsc.exe command line. You invoke the session using the mstsc command line using the /span option. You have to have two displays, locally, that are running at the same resolution.

Remote Desktop Connection to another machine is a default option in all newer Microsoft OS's. To enable RDP across multiple monitors is only a feature supported by Win7 Enterprise or Win7 Ultimate. With the steps below, you'll be able to modify the RDP connection to span the window across multiple monitors.

Step 1: Accessing RDP

Step 2: Configuring RDP

Click on the 'Display' tab
Check the box 'Use all my monitors for the remote session'
Click on the 'General' tab and save the configuration to your desktop

Step 3: Equalize all monitor resolutions
