On a remote desktop session to an Enterprise edition of Windows 8 I cannot get it to allow me to use more than one local monitor but less than all my local monitors. In my setup I have three local monitors and wish to use only two for the remote desktop
session.
I have used gpedit.msc to set the value of the setting below to 2 per this article:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/rds/archive/2009/07/01/using-multiple-monitors-in-remote-desktop-session.aspx but when I try to connect to the remote desktop after setting it to 2 and doing a gpupdate it will only connect one of my local monitors. I had to disable
the setting and let it connect to all three again.
Is there no way to use only two of my three local monitors in a remote desktop session to Windows 8 Enterprise Edition?
BTW, I could connect to Windows 7 Enterprise edition using the RDC /span option. Not as nice as full two monitor support but usable and for me better than using all three local monitors. I have been unable to get this option to connect to more than
one monitor with Windows 8.
Thank you in advance.
