My setup is local dual monitors + remote dual monitors.

I launched using mstsc.exe /v:(myserverip) /w:2048 /h:768 and it almost works the way i want. I also tried /w:2560 as well with same results:

The remote desktop is maxed out at 1600 horizontally. I am perplexed, as my local and remote system resolution are at 2048 (if you consider both monitors).

It is possible with the command line options

With Windows Xp Remote Desktop you can connect to a machine with dual monitors and be able to see both. Also you can do this even if your machine your using does not have 2 monitors.

Example:(Connects to pc called MYMACHINE which has dual monitors at 1024x768)
mstsc.exe /v:MYMACHINE /w:2048 /h:768

I have the same issue with Remote Desktop, but in a slightly different configuraiton. I use dual monitors on my office PC, but only 1 at home.

Not really a solution, however I also use PC Anywhere as it does File Transfers better and can print to your home PC from your office PC.
It also handles the 2 monitors much, much better then Remote Desktop....you can see both monitors, desktop and all..

I use remote desktop connection from home to my system at work. I work with dual monitor video card at my home & office. When I connect remotely the remote desktop doesn�t see the second monitor.

Any ideas, why it happens?

Thanks!
