They will also take my machine and re-image it back to what it was. Same issue here, just wasted an hour trying to get this to work until I found that this will only work with an ult or ent host. Windows 7 Professional is supposed to be an operating system for use by business professionals. The vast majority of businesses who care anything at all about employee efficiency have upgraded their employees to dual monitors.
Most of the power users who spend much time working from home also have multiple monitors at their house. This is every bit as rediculous as Outlook in Office Standard not supporting online archives and Microsoft not giving companies an upgrade path to Pro Plus for their licensing. I sincerely hope Microsoft pulls their head out of their rear-end with feature licensing in upcoming releases.
Unfortunately , still not any hope for RDP to work with more than 1 monitors at this moment with Win7 Pro. And It is really not good idea to upgrade and pay for the upgrade just because of this option to come online.
Microsoft should here our complains and turn this option to available for all of us. But it looks like, they don't care at this moment. Win7 PRO I have NO Faith is the company anymore. Every release is worst than the last. Windows 8 is just another tell tale sign of things to come from this company. Junk, junk, and more junk, as I will Never run Win8 in my Enterprise. Until multimonitor support is re-enabled as per the original FAQ which we all used to determine our product purchase.
Just wasted an hour of my life working out that this doesn't work, on a so called "Professional" operating system, that's a joke. I find myself wondering how many working hours have been wasted, globally, by people trying to get this to work, because there's intuitively no reason for it not to : it would actually simplify the code to delete the check for Enterprise or Ultimate edition.
People know this ; MS actually had to make an extra effort to break it for "lower" editions to serve their need for SKU differentiation. It just generates ill-will, it's not like it's an extra feature that's missing that I could understand paying up for , it's an included feature, that you made the effort to break on purpose. I guess we're still in the bad old days of IBM performing "upgrades" on your mainframe by sending an engineer to snip a wire link that doubles the clock speed.
Spent 5 hours on this. Found some very helpful sites explaining all about installing updates and enabling RDP 8. Shame about the time wasting. Perhaps a little note under the"Use all my monitors" checkbox stating "the host needs to be enterprise or ultimate" might save us all a little frustration.
I am also very disappointed that I am not able to use multiple monitors with my Windows 7 Professional. For anyone with the patience to stumble upon this thread and read this All of the files to upgrade to ultimate are already sitting on the drive, the windows anytime upgrade simply turns the junk on in the registry or what have you.
Most OEMs have preActivated keys, so if you have a dell for example.. If you happen to have an MSDN subscription you may also have a key to ultimate available to you. Thought it had something to do with trying to connect from Win8. There is almost no information stating that Win7 Prof is exempt from all RDP versions support multi-monitor. As All generally means all. When using full screen and Span across multiple monitors you get a scroll bar at the bottom to move between monitors.
So I have windows 7 pro and have tried every hack etc. Using a sidegrade technique gets around this pesky Remote Desktop restriction, as I wrote up over here:. Another bump from me - luckily all you guys who spent hours working on this saved me a ton of trouble.
It took me 3 mins to read all the replies and realise this thread is stillbeing bumped - so I'll bump it again. But I suspect you've long since stopped listening to those who need to use windows for productivity Look how long it took you to realise the Win8 UI paradigm shift was a cack handed mess! I got a bypass way to work with this scenario.
It's a step down from multimon support, but it at least gets me a lot more screen real estate Nicer read: gaming Nvidia cards can span multiple monitors and present that virtual display to the OS. So if you have 2xp displays the OS would think you had a x screen and full-screened RDP would cover both.
No, this doesn't treat them as independent screens but it beats RDP's garbage "span" option. It's not a fix and it's not really a workaround but maybe it'll help someone looking for more screen real estate. Also if you don't post logs your problem won't be easily solved. Thanks to siryoav.
