I use ULTRAMON to TERMINAL SERVER (MSTSC.EXE)into several computers at at time (I have 14 open TS sessions at the moment.) I almost always use FULL SCREEN.
My problem is moving these sessions - the MOVE TO MONITOR function isn't available on FULL SCREEN TS sessions. I have to make it a WINDOW, move it and then MAXIMIZE it.
What I'd like is a menu option and/or icon in the TS SESSION TITLE BAR like there is in a normal full screen window.

Thanks for the suggestion, will be considered for UltraMon 3.

Hello,
Is this feature on track for v. 3? With 2.7.1, moving full-screen mstsc windows did not work, then it did for a few months, now it doesn't. I have no idea what changed the behavior. I upgraded to 3.0.5 and it still does not work. It would be great to have the feature back!
Thanks for a great program.

I haven't looked into this yet, but most likely this won't work, I just tested on Vista and you can't even move a fullscreen Remote Desktop window via Move Window hotkey. This can be due to an application restricting how its windows can be moved/sized.

How about setting up an ultramon macro to un-maximize the window, move it, and re-maximize it? Of course, the missing part would still be a button on the maximized Remote Desktop window bar.

That should work, if someone is interested in this let me know and I'll try if this can be done via custom script.

Hi,
Just bumping this thread - it's exactly what I'm looking for. I have several remote desktop sessions, each on 1 of my 3 monitors (not looking to span yet). I would like to move the maximized remote desktop window from one monitor to another. A script on a hotkey would be ok with me as a workaround.
Win 7 Pro on local machine, UltraMon 3.1.0
Thanks!

I just tested this, there are two problems:
1) the UltraMon hotkey doesn't work because it gets sent to the remote session instead of getting executed locally
2) moving the fullscreen window via script by restoring the window first, then moving and maximizing it again works fine, except that the little title bar in the middle of the window doesn't get moved

Thanks for checking! Can you provide the script anyway - I'm curious how it works.

Here's the script code I used for testing:<![CDATA[Set wnd = CreateObject("UltraMon.Window")
WScript.Sleep 3000
If wnd.GetForegroundWindow() = True Then
wnd.ShowState = 2 'SHOWSTATE_NORMAL
wnd.Monitor = -1 'MOVEMONITOR_NEXT
wnd.ApplyChanges 2 'WNDCHANGE_CLIP_TO_WORKSPACE
wnd.ShowState = 3 'SHOWSTATE_MAXIMIZED
wnd.ApplyChanges 0
End If]]>The WScript.Sleep line pauses the script for 3 seconds, this allows you to start the script, then activate the window you want to get moved.

Hi,
Just a note for a quick hotkey workaround on this:
ctrl-alt-break is windows' hot key to maximize/restore a remote desktop window.
I assigned ctrl-alt-right and ctrl-alt-left to ultramon's hotkeys to move window left and right.
So you can lean on ctrl-alt, then do break-right-break, or break-right-right-break, to move the windows pretty easily.
Thanks,
- Bob
