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...
