VRDP to specific monitor

Post by eddolls »

Hi everyone,

I have a windows 10 guest on a ubuntu host which i use VRDP to connect too from a windows 7 remote computer, the windows 10 guest is setup with 2 virtual monitors.
Is it possible for one remote computer to connect to just the second monitor and another computer to connect to just the first?

Thankyou erdeslawe, sorry i should of read that first, but i still cant get it to work. :oops:

I have tried connecting with @2\user in the user field but it only ever connects to screen 1, i have also enabled vrdemulticon on the server and checked its enabled with showvminfo. i have attached my client settings, maybe i'm doing something stupid.

Interesting "option" to make it work... I'll try to remember that. Thanks for the feedback!
