Is there any multiple monitor support in windows terminal services? I
have dual monitors set up at home and at work. But, when I use
terminal services to connect to my work computer from home, it only
shows in one window. The settings don't seem to have any options for
specifying a larger screen than full screen. If I terminal service in
multiple times then the sessions are just separate. There's no way to
drag a window in between the two windows and the start bar is totally
separate. That's usable, but not ideal. The most important use I have
for multiple monitors is to have my development environment (Eclipse)
have some of its windows on a different monitor. There's no way to do
that unless windows are draggable between the terminal services
windows.

I use WinXP professional at home and Win2k Server at work.

If terminal services doesn't support this, is there another product that does?

Hi,
Have you been able to figure out how to use multiple monitors with TS?!?!?!
Thanks,
Mark

Nope. As far as I can tell, it's not possible. PCAnywhere supports a
wide mode that can cross multiple monitors, but it's so slow compared
to TS that it's pretty much useless.
