Dec 31, 2019 First published on CloudBlogs on Jul, 01 2009 NOTE: This is an old post. To learn about RDS in Windows Server 2016, please visit our documentation page Introduction:Multiple monitor support for Remote Desktop Services allows users to open a Remote Desktop connection expanded across all the monito. Under Allowed apps and features, select Remote Desktop, and then tap or click OK. If you're using a different firewall, make sure the port for Remote Desktop (usually 3389) is open. Remote connections might not be set up on the remote PC. To fix this, scroll back up to How do I set up a PC for Remote Desktop? Question in this topic.
Learning has never been so easy!
Desktop sharing lets users present a screen or app during a meeting or chat. Admins can configure screen sharing in Microsoft Teams to let users share an entire screen, an app, or a file. You can let users give or request control, allow PowerPoint sharing, add a whiteboard, and allow shared notes. Additional Notes: The Microsoft Remote Desktop app for Mac available in the Mac App Store and updated regularly, is our fully tested and fully featured application. It supports connecting to desktops, remote resources and Azure RemoteApp. This is the app you should use in a live operating environment. 2020-3-15 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. In Remote Desktop Connection, type the name of the PC you want to connect to (from Step 1), and then select Connect. On your Windows, Android, or iOS device: Open the Remote Desktop app (available for free from Microsoft Store, Google Play, and the Mac App Store), and add the name of the PC that you want to connect to (from Step 1).
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.
