Dual Monitor with a Remote Desktop Connection

Dual Monitor with a Remote Desktop Connection

Reading this I understood that is possible to use two monitors with Remote Desktop with equal resolutions. In my case I have 2 monitors with different resolution. Could I however use two monitors with my RDC?

"I believe you can with Vista and above, just run remote desktop with the width and height arguments instead of using /span. The width should be the combined width of your two monitors, and the height should be the smallest monitor's height.

For example, if you're using 2 monitors at 1680x1050 and 1024x768, use 2704 for the width and 768 for height.

mstsc.exe /W:2704 /H:768

Resize the window to it's full size and position so it fits both monitors from top to bottom. A nifty app you may also be interested in is SplitView, which makes things substantially easier."
