Thanks for the reply. After reading it looks like this will not work for me. I have a dual-monitor setup at work. At home I am using a laptop to remote into our network. I only have one screen to work with. When I remote in, if I open an application that is setup to open up on my second monitor I cannot see it at home. With Dameware I can click a button and it will show the output of my second monitor. I am looking for a way to do this for free. If that is possible.
Thanks, Mark From: Johonn2 [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 31 January 2009 13:32 To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: RDP Question http://support.microsoft.com/kb/925876 Monitor spanning Remote Desktop Connection supports high-resolution displays that can be spanned across multiple monitors. However, the total resolution on all monitors must be under 4096 x 2048 pixels. The monitors must have the same resolution. Additionally, the monitors must be aligned side-by-side. To have the desktop of the remote computer span multiple monitors, type Mstsc /span at a command prompt You will run it from the command line. mstc.msc /v:<computer> /span or mstc.msc /v:<computer> /w:<width> /h:<height> Bob From: Kelsay, Mark [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, January 31, 2009 6:05 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RDP Question I have a dual-monitor setup at work. When I remote in from home and RDP to my computer at work I cannot see anything on my second screen. Dameware has the ability to do this but cannot convince my boss to buy it yet. Is there a way to make RDP support this? By either a command line switch or some free plug-in? I could use VNC is there is a version that will do what I need. Anyone else have this problem?
