Remote Desktop multi-monitor support

by jk 9. April 2008 12:32

Yesterday I ran across the "/span" and "/f" command line switches for the Microsoft remote desktop client (mstsc.exe; I typically use the command line for this) and wanted to pass them along.

e.g. to remote desktop into a server named "myServer" from the command line and get the RDP client to span dual monitors in full screen mode:

mstsc /v:myServer /span /f

 

Switch

Description

/v

the remote machine name

/span

span across multiple monitors

/f

open in full screen mode

 

If you use the /? switch to see all the command line arguments, I see there are also width and height settings…

Hope you find this useful!
