So it was with interest I noticed the news about VDM (Virtual Display Manager)being released by iShadow and remembered I’d been asked about the same issues a couple of months back.
The cheapest solution is to make sure you are using the Vista TS Client as this supports monitor spanning - however there are a few caveats listed below
The other alternative is SplitView and this can be used on trial for 30 days?
But certainly VDM certainly looks like it will accommodate just about any need or requirment, as demonstrated here:
VIRTUAL DISPLAY MANAGER
MSTSC Spanning multiple Monitors
For example, this configuration is suitable for multi-monitor spanning:
(-1024,0) | --+--------------+------------------> x | | | | | | | | | | | | +--------------+--------------+ (1024,768) | y V
You can access the functionality using command-line options, in one of two ways:
If you know the rectangle dimensions of your virtual desktop:
mstsc /w:2048 /h:768 /v:<servername>
or if you want mstsc.exe to figure-out the dimensions:
mstsc /span /v:<servername>
There are a few limitations of multi-monitor spanning:
* The maximum dimensions of the virtual desktop in a TS-Session is hard-coded to 4096×2048, regardless of the color-depth and the available resources on the remote machine.
* The remote session will see your virtual desktop as one giant display.This reduces the complexity of the multi-display implementation in the remote session, while still allowing the windowed mode of the TS-Client to
be functional and viable.
