With multi-monitor Windows 7 Remote Desktop

I tried to remote desktop from my Windows 7 RC machine at home for my full desktop Windows Vista Edition machine with the multiscreen option, but even if I have 2 monitors works very well on both sites I can't make it work with this new feature with remote desktop. Do I need a different operating system at server end?

Thank you very much
Richard.

Hello Baker,

Thank you for using the Microsoft Answers forum.  Remote Desktop connection supports screens high resolution that can be split over multiple monitors. However, the total resolution across all monitors must be less than 4096 x 2048 pixels. Monitors must have the same resolution. In addition, monitors must be aligned side-by-side.

Order for the Office of the remote computer span multiple monitors, type Mstsc/span at a command prompt.

Thank you for using answers Forum. Please let us know how it works.

  • Bangkok Windows 7 Remote Desktop Support

    I have improved the work of home to Windows 7 Professional 64 - bit in order to have multi-monitor support in Remote Desktop without using the extended option (which does not work for me, as my screen resolutions are not well enough to be usable).

    However, even though I have the session put in place with the ' display > use all of my monitors for the remote session "check on the client, I can get to use a monitor.

    According to the FAQ from Microsoft on Win7 Remote Desktop (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Remote-Desktop-Connection-frequently-asked-questions), it should work. Question 5 is ' there are several support monitor for remote desktop connection in this version of Windows? (The header at the top said "Applies to all editions of Windows 7," and there is no separate FAQ for each version, I can say). The answer is Yes, followed by instructions on how to set up.

    So, how to do this work?

  • Windows 8 for Windows 10 remote desktop does not

    I have a Windows 10 remote desktop machine I connect often. In this configuration course I am able to open an Office Session remotely with the following platforms:

    1. My phone Windows 8
    2. My Ubuntu (using Remmina) office

    The problem is related to my PC Windows 8.1. I checked the following:

    • Remote connections are allowed on the remote PC
    • The remote PC is allowed to enable any PC to connect
    • The remote PC is turned on

    Ref: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/remote-desktop-app-faq#1TC=windows-8

    I also tried to go to:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Terminal Server Client\Default

    in the registry to delete the cache would be ins journal as well. I also deleted Default.rpd in My Documents as well.

    Problem:

    When I try to connect to the Windows 10 computer, the connection is established, but the connection is not accepted (keep in mind, I used this access using RDP connection on my Windows Phone and my PC Ubuntu). For some reason it does not accept my password.

    Any ideas?

  • Distorted screen of Windows 7 remote desktop printing

    In our work environment, we are running Win7 Pro on workstations with monitors 24 ", and we are mode connection full screen on Windows 2003 Terminal Server that has a monitor standard aspect ratio of 4:1.  We use specific software in the industry for our company, and when we print, the text is elongated.  If the screen resolution for the Terminal Server Session on the client is configured for 1024 x 768 instead of 1900 x 1200, it prints very well as shown here:

    Unfortunately, the way things are presented to the user on the screen at 1024 x 768 is not satisfactory.

    We have a few (all 1900 x 1200 widescreen) customers who use software in the industry outside the Terminal Server environment, and they print without problem.  This leads me to believe that there is a specific problem in Win7 remote desktop client, or the Terminal Server itself.  Whatever it is, the display resolution selected for the Terminal Session is clearly the culprit.  In software, the print is first presented in a preview before printing, and the lengthening of the police is visible in the preview screen. I think that the software is written in C++, but I'm not 100% sure on that.  I'm guessing this has something to do with the print job will be returned on a big screen, but I'm not advanced enough to find out how or why that matters in the grand scheme of things.

    I have installed the patch in KB2768741 to Win7 clients, but he did nothing to help the issue.

    Solve the mystery of myself.  Found this little note that after much research online.

    "Important note: Remote Desktop is no longer included in the versions professional, enterprise or ultimate edition of Windows." Editions do not have Office remotely. »

    It seems that Microsoft "cat experts" would have mentioned this small detail when I worked with them or help line experts when I call them on the phone.  Instead, they tried to sell me a support service for $99, which I think now just tried to trick me into buying one edition more expensive Microsoft windows without really anything to solve the problem which would itself be fixed with an update they would have sold in addition to the support service for $99 that I really don't need to.

    I need the boring explanation if you can
    Thank you

    Hello

    You can do this, but I do NOT recommend it because in this case if someone has your IP address then could access your windows by using remote desktop. And people could use find find IP of random generator and when there is NO password can access. so please use password and the password to connect.

    However, you can configure the setting to connect with empty password:

    1) go to control panel

    2 Administrative Tools)

    look 3) to the local security policy

    (4) open and look for security options

    (5) then in account you will see something like "limit local account use of the empty password for console logon only

    (6) try to disable it and reboot your PC

    It should work, but as I said, it could put your PC in DANGER.

    By design remote desktop requires a password to connect safety precaution. The Remote Desktop user ID and password are the on the computer you want to access and control remote. The user ID must be an administrator or be a member of the remote desktop users group.

    If you need create a password for the user ID you want to connect with the help of office remotely.

    Computer on which is the host of remote desktop, IE. the computer you want to access remote/control? It is not clear from your description, although I assume it is the office.

  • Windows 8 Remote Desktop keeps asking for password wifi

    recently I reset my wifi network id and password.  After this "implementation of windows remote desktop 8" keeps poping up asking wifi password. It happens like every five seconds when I'm connected to the internet. After you enter the password and click ok, it happens again! I can't really do anything like pages Web surfing or watching youtube videos.  The only way to stop it is to disconnect from the internet.

    Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

    Hi Jing,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I imagine the inconvenience you encounter with guests Remote Office for password. I will certainly help you in this matter.

    Sometimes, this problem occurs if you don't have a password set for your local administrative user account. To set a password, you can press the key combination CTRL + ALT + DELETE on the screen, click change password, type and confirm the password.

    Login again and try to enter the WiFi password. Check if the number is reproduced.

    Alternatively, if you do use Remote Desktop, you can try to disable the remote desktop in system properties and check if it helps.

    1. Press Windows key + R.
    2. In the Run dialog box, type SystemPropertiesRemote.exe , and then press ENTER.
    3. Unlike what allows the connection, select don't allow connections to this computer remotely.
    4. Click OK.

    NOTE: You can always activate the setting by clicking on the option allow in step 3.

    See the screenshot below for assistance.

  • Can someone help me learn and understand Windows 7 Remote Desktop?

    Well, im trying to understand how it works any and all how to put to the top or do work. Ive tried to watch on other internet resources but most is very difficult to understand and they quiet no say how it works where how to operate in general. I understand the fact that it allows you to connect to another computer on a wired LAN or over the internet from your PC or laptop, but that's all.

    As far as I saw, the entire internet resources Ive looked at do not properly explain how it works is, how to set up and the various means of implementation. If anyone here can give a detailed explanation, I understand then I would be very grateful and thankful.

    Dear Forum,

    I had a problem trying to help a friend with problems of view (running Windows 7), I'm on Windows 10.  When I try to make the necessary connections on his laptop I do not get the options I see in the help videos.  Rather than get three options;

    • Do not allow connections to this computer
    • Allow the connection of computers running any version (less safe) remote access
    • That allow the connection of computers running Office remotely with network level authentication (more secure)

    I get the screen below and clicking on advanced not me these options either!  Can anyone help?

  • Is there a way to make it clear which window has the focus on a multi-monitor Windows system?

    If there is nothing that makes me want to pick up my computer and throw it out the window, sound when a window that I just didn't have the focus starts to respond to commands, I type in another window I had focus; only to find out that I made a mistake. Yes, finally I'm the one to blame. I get that. But man, when I do something like watch a video of Pluralsight on a monitor, and I try to duplicate the code in Visual Studio on another monitor and find that instead I issue commands to control video Pluralsight, that really frustrates me! And unfortunately I too often do, so my reason to post this question.

    Thus it is possible, some settings I can do in Windows, so that when any window had the focus more visually obvious sound? Of course, I still want to be able to read another window on the same screen or on another monitor, but I just want to be able to see, at a glance, that for example the browser with Pluralsight video controller window now has the focus, not my instance of Visual Studio. Something like the title of windows is perhaps more "BOLD", or a different color or anything to make it obvious.
