I have just set up a Windows 7 64-bit machine using virtual box with 4 monitors, my intentions are to use remote desktop to connect to specific monitors, however, when I use the IP address and port for the host machine to connect to and then the user name: @2\Temp, only it just connects to the primary monitor not the specified one. is there an option that I am missing?

That is the correct way of doing it. Please attach as a zip file the VM log file representing the session where you try this and the guest settings as described in Minimum information needed for assistance.

In the specific log you've given, you try to connect to the 4th screen, using @4. If I follow the log correctly, it looks like the screen index start at 0. Could you try with @3?
Also, how do you know it always connect to the first screen exactly? Have you configured the guest OS to not mirror the displays but have an extended desktop?
