Forums -> UltraMon™ -> Ultramon on RDP HyperV
Damien   2020-02-19 04:26
Hello,

In our firm, we have to equip our 45 technicians with a laptop and HyperV.

The objectif is to have 2 or 3 VM on these laptop.
The laptop has 4 screens.

So We'll have :
- Laptop HOST
- VM1
- VM2

When I launch VM1 I want 2 screens and 2 screens for VM2.

When I launch VM1 and VM2, it's RDP.

Does Ultramon will work with this solution ?

If i'm not clear, don't hesitate to ask :-)

Thanks in advance for your help,

Damien.

Would you want to use UltraMon to stretch the VMs across two monitors?

I doubt that this will work, I would recommend checking if the VM software has support for running across multiple monitors on the host, if I remember correctly VMware Workstation did support this.

Hello,

Thank you Christian for the answer.

In fact what I want to do :
I have my HOST laptop with 4 screens.
When I launch one of the 2 VMs I wish to have only 2 screens per VM.
To launch these VMs, I use the remote desktop connection (RDP).

With the evaluation version, Ultramon sees the 4 screens well in the VM, but when I try to deactivate 2 screens, it doesn't work.

Thanks in advance for your help :-)

Changing display settings for a remote session via UltraMon won't work.

Two things you could do:

- specify a custom size for the remote session using the /w and /h command line switches for mstsc.exe (the remote desktop executable), this way you could stretch each session across two monitors

- run both VMs in a single remote session which uses all 4 local monitors, and configure the VMs to stretch across two monitors only (if supported by the VM software)

Thanks Christian,

I confirm it's not working as I wanted.

Ultramon or other software dont like RDP...
