Remote Desktop Connection supports high-resolution displays that can be spanned across multiple monitors. The monitors must be the same resolution and aligned side by side. To have the remote computer's desktop span multiple monitors, type Mstsc /span at a command prompt.

mstsc /span

There are a few limitations of multi-monitor spanning:

* The maximum dimensions of the virtual desktop in a Terminal Services Session is hard-coded to 4096x2048, regardless of the colour-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.

Microsoft have hinted that multiple desktops will be supported in a forthcoming release of the remote desktop client. See Microsoft for updates.
