Multiple monitors are great for productivity. Here’s a tip to use multiple monitors with your remote desktop or terminal server connection.
Use the “/span” and “/f” command line switches for the Microsoft remote desktop client for dual monitor support.
e.g. to remote desktop into a Terminal Server named “myRDPname” from the command line and get the RDP client to span dual monitors in full screen mode:
mstsc /v:myRDPname /span /f
|
