Dual Screen Remote Desktop

Hey Guys,
At the moment I have a 27" iMac connected to a 27" external monitor - I use OS X (only because my media is on that system), however I remote (MS-TS) into my work server every day. What I would really like is an application that will let me dual screen the remote connection like the windows client does.
Any ideas or recommendations would be appreciated.

Hi,
Here I can say that you can try using URI scheme for your case with following line.
use multimon:i:1
after making this manual configuration you can try to access the remote screen with 2 monitor and check the result.

Remote desktop full screen mode not going full screen

Hi,
Running Windows 7 RTM x64 on both my PC at home and my workstation at work.
My PC at home has a square monitor and my work PC has a widescreen monitor.
I used webapps (citrix) from home to get into work environment then remoted to my workstation.
Since doing that, when I am physically at the workstation (at work), I can no longer remote desktop to servers in full screen mode. Instead, it does a smaller window with "full screen settings". Basically the full screen remote desktop is about 3/4 size of the monitor, not 100%.
Any help appreciated.
-thanks

I have this problem too ... On Windows 7.
Dell XPS14 laptop ... No Pause Key ... No Break Key... (ctrl +alt + fn + F12) doesn't work.
The thing that bugs me most is ..... What's
changed and WHY?
I've been using remote desktop for years and maximizing always used to send it to full screen.
Now suddenly I can't go to full screen without exiting and resetting the screen size with the slide bar in the options!
WHY
Seems this has been broken in Windows 7. It still works fine as it used to on my old M65 running Vista.
Why has
this been broken in Windows 7? How come no one at MS noticed?
The marked answer is not acceptable. Sure it works when you initially open the connection but if
you minimize or restore the window the problem comes back as before.
Hi, I'm on a Dell Inspiron N5010 and for me, the winning combination was Ctrl-Alt-Fn-F6. Toggles full screen and windowed screen.

Can't quit directly from remote desktop session on OS X

When I'm in a full-screen remote desktop session in Mavericks and I move the mouse to the top of the screen so the menu bar appears, selecting Quit from the File menu results in the session ending, but I have to select Quit a second time to actually exit
the application.

Hi,
It seems to be a Mac related issue, I would like to suggest you contact Apple support for help.
Thanks.

Apple Remote Desktop - Dual Displays

How can I mirror my dual displays on my remote machine to my dual displays on my local machine? The current default goes to full screen only on "Monitor 1" and blacks out "Monitor 2". Any suggestions or other applications that can emulate this task would be greatly appreciated.

That would be a cool feature, but not one that's currently in Remote Desktop.

Black screen after unlocking PC that was previously Remote Desktop-ped to

I'm running Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard, Service Pack 1.
Often I need to work from home, in which case I jump onto a VPN via Citrix client and remote desktop to my work PC. Subsequently, when I come to work in the morning and attempt to unlock my PC, from time to time after entering my login credentials and pressing
'Enter' I get presented with two blank/black screens instead of my desktop. I tried being patient, moving my mouse a bit etc but to no avail. I notice that the keyboard is still functional (CAPS LOCK light goes on/off), and there appears to be some hard drive
activity. However I end up needing to reboot the PC (and lose whatever unsaved work I had).
I've done some googling, attempted most of the suggested solutions (involving changing some registry settings, updating video card drivers etc) but to no avail.
My video card is NVIDIA Quadro NVS 295, driver date 24/01/2014. I do have dual monitors configured (lenovo).
Any tips/suggestions would be much appreciated,
Greg

Print Screen using new Microsoft Remote Desktop app on Mac

I am trying to figure out how to do a screen capture of a window using the new Microsoft Remote Destkop app on my MacBook Pro. I don't have a numeric keypad so the Ctrl+Alt+Minus on the keypad does not work. On the older remote desktop
client there were preferences to remap this but I cannot figure it out on the new app. And the snipping tool is great if connected to an OS that has it. Otherwise it does not help.
Thanks!
Richard

Hi,
Please check if you have the PrtScn key on your keyboard. If so, you can use this key to capture a full screen screenshot and paste it such as MS paint.
If you do not have the key, you can start the On-Scrren Keyboard to use the PrtScn Key within the remote session.

Hope this helps.

Remote desktop results in blank screen.

So I have my mac mini (the core2duo) running OSX 10.6.4. For video it's connected to my stereo (via HDMI) which in turn is connected to my TV via HDMI. No problems so far with this.
However.
Let's say my TV and Stereo are off and I want to remote desktop into the mini. So I turn on the mini, and remote desktop to it from my macbook pro (10.6.4). I connect, however, the resulting remote desktop screen is black. This is the problem. No amount of clicking, disconnecting remotedesktop reconnecting, etc will get my remote desktop session to show the correct desktop. If I then turn on the stereo and TV, I get a halfway correct picture. I see the menu bar at the top of the TV display, but not on my remote desktop. The mouse pointer moves on the TV but not on the remote desktop session.
If I reboot the macmini, everything is fine because the stereo&TV are already on.
Any ideas?

check your layers to make sure all items were deleted. Make sure there is no click box on the screen. This acts as a question especially when the reporting option is clicked

Windows XP see blank screen when remote desktop to Windows 7 with fast user switching disabled

All computers are in workgroup environment, no AD.
Windows 7 pro are configured with fast user switching mode disabled so that only one login session can run at a time. When a Windows 7 machine remote desktop to another Windows 7 machine, the remote desktop 'server' will give 30 seconds count-down for the
console logged in user to accept remote connection, or when timeout expires it kicks out the console logged in user. This is completely ok.
This become a problem when a Windows XP rd client try to remote desktop to these Windows 7 machines, Windows XP see a blank screen if the remote Windows 7 machine has a user logged in, as it is waiting for the user to log off first. This is not desirable
as our administrators want the console session to be logged out automatically if they (administrators) want to remote desktop in.
Is this a configuration problem? Is this a OS design, can't be changed?
Valuable skills are not learned, learned skills aren't valuable.

Hi,
As I know, for RDP session in Windows 7, you don't need to configure the fast user switch option disabled. Windows 7 doesn’t support multiple Remote Desktop sessions by design, that means only one RDP session at a time.
I remote into my Windows 7 machine (which has a user logged in) from my XP machine, all work fine, the user logged in Windows 7 machine is automatically "kicked off".
May I ask a question? Does this issue happen in all XP machines? If you leave Windows 7 machine started and no user logged in, the RDP session in Windows XP established quickly?
I would suggest you keep latest drivers graphic card and latest updates paches for both Windows XP (Windows XP has come to its end of the lifecycle)and Windows 7.

Problem with remote desktop and lock screen

I know of the easy way to immediately lock a Mac's screen by clicking the menu bar lock icon from KeychainAccess. This works on every system under my control (rMBP running Mavericks, MacMini with 10.5 and Mavericks). However when I control the Macs via Remote Desktop (currently 3.7.2), that lock icon behaviour changes.
Trying to lock a 10.5 system, the screen inside the Remote Desktop window goes black immediately. Moving the mouse activates the password dialog. That is what I want. Doing the same in a remote Mavericks system, the screen goes to a dark blackish semi-transparent state. Moving the mouse immediately restores the normal desktop view, no password asked. Is this a feature or a bug in Remote Desktop? This change in behaviour must have come in around Lion or Mountain Lion.

Hi
Do you use the Intel Proset Utility to configurate the WLan connection?
Try to configure the WLan using this tool and check if the Wlan would disconnect again.
Im also interesting what Wlan driver did you use?
Did you use one from the Intel page?
If not, check the Intel page for the newest WLan driver version.

Remote desktop (and VNC) show black screen

I am using Remote Desktop (or VNC) on a 10.6 laptop to access my 10.6 Mac Pro at work. The desktop Mac is up and awake because I can connect to it by SFTP and pull down files. But when I make a Remote Desktop connection, all I see is a black screen and no password window (to break through the screensaver, as usually happens). This used to work just fine - I don't know what changed. How do I diagnose and/or fix this - why isn't my remote access working? (btw, I don't know if this matters, but I have 4 monitors on this Desktop Mac Pro, although it used to work just fine).

Hi,
Please make sure you have installed the correct NIC drivers for your RDS server and PC, and checking the switches, setting the speed of NIC's to auto might help you to solve the problem.
You can also check the following items:
Please try lower screen(no full screen) resolution in Remote Desktop Connection to see whether this issue still exists.
Disable the use of "Bitmap Caching" on the RDP client.
Verity that the server, client and the network equipment using the "MTU" size.

Remote desktop and screen sharing with RMI

Iam developing an application for screen sharing and remote desktop
the problem is a performance problem
in the screen sharing application server screen is captured and the image is sent to all connected clients through rmi connection
I used JPEGImageEncoder to compress the image and convert it to array of bytes
then zipped the resulted array using deflater.
the result is sent through rmi connection
the performance is so poor
i tried JMF but the performance is worse
i am thinking of a way to send the server screen only if it is changed but i don't know how
anyone could help me to enhance it with acceptable quality for the image
thanks

As you said, you need to only send the changes over the line.
Java can not tell you what has changed, so you need to either write some JNI, or do a check on the current image, with the last image. (this would eat quite a bit of CPU time on the server).
It might be worth looking at the source for VNC, and other simler products.
The simpliest solution would be to split the image into blocks of x by y pixels, then do a pixel-by-pixel check on that block, and only send the block if it has changed.
Next thing to think about is scrapping RMI, and using raw sockets. RMI has a fair sized overhead.
Zipping a JPEG is unlikely to have any effect. A JPEG is already compressed.
You might want to look at a lossless compression format, like PNG, as the JPEG will have articles. This might be acceptable. If so, changing the compression ratio of the JPEG might be an option.
Finally, the bottle neck might be the call to Robot.createScreenCapture. This is not the fastest method.

Remote Desktop Connection Not Going To Full Screen on EIZO MX340 Monitor 1536x2048 Resolution

I am using a EIZO Rx-340 as a secondary monitor. So far I am only able to get into full screen by using Ctrl-Alt-Fn-Pause but it does not change the resolution. It does not help to move the slider to large. There is a black space at the top and bottom
of the display.

Hi,
Please take a try with the steps below:
1. Start "Remote Desktop Connection".
2. Click on "Options".
3. Click on the "Display" tab.
4. On "Display configuration" settings, you can change the "Remote Desktop Connection" display by moving the slider from "Small to Large".
5. By moving the "Slider" all the way to large, the display settings will automatically set to "Full Screen".
Here is the screenshot:
Also please take a check if the monitor itself is configured well.
Hope this may help

Remote Desktop Connection - viewing screen

Hi, I just installed Remote Desktop Connection on my Imac at home so I can access my work PC. Everything works fine but my image I view is only about 5" x 6". It seems like a waste of the 27" screen. Does anyone know how I can increase the size of this so I can access the whole screen?
Thanks

Hi and welcome to Discussions,
personally I use Screen Sharing for accessing my work PC but I think this also applies to RDC.
What you get on your iMac is the screen resolution of your work PC when using RDC.
Since the 27" iMac has such a high resolution natively (2560x1440) the RDC window might be quite small when your work PC uses a resolution of 1280x1024 (as an example).
You might try to raise the resolution of your Work PC (should be possible through RDC when the resolution change on your Work PC is appliable without a restart of it) but eventually might come to a barrier when reaching the highest resolution possible on your Work PC.
Also keep in mind that the higher the resolution of the Work PC is, the more data has to be transfered which might slow down your RDC connection to a crawl.
Regards
Stefan

Windows 2012 R2 - Remote Desktop Sessions, RemoteFX, GPU, Blue Screen RemoteFX adaptor

Nvidia GPU GRID K1
Host Server - Dell Power edge R720 128 gig RAM 2 Xeon E5-2640v2 2.0GHz, 20M cache 8c
Windows 2012 R2 full installation – Bios and all hardware with latest updates.
Roles - Hyper V and Remote Desktop Virtualization Host
EPT, GPU, WDDM (latest drivers) compatible for RemoteFX and fully up to date.
I have disabled the video adaptor on the motherboard.
I cannot complete with administrative permissions;
dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:Microsoft-Windows-RemoteFX-EmbeddedVideoCap-Setup-Package
Error: 0x800f080c
Feature name Microsoft-Windows-RemoteFX-EmbeddedVidoCap-Setup-Package is unknown
Question 1 - because video card on motherboard disabled, do I still need to complete this command?
VM’s
**I’m not interested in VDI but more Remote Desktop Sessions and the option to ‘pinch and zoom with Windows 8.1 tablets**
VM1 - Windows 2012 R2 configured as generation 1 that is fully patched.
This VM is able to start up and run until I add the new hardware for the RemoteFX Video adaptor from within the Hyper V settings. When I start the VM the server blue screens. I have tried multiple VM’s with 2012 but same thing
If I created the VM as Generation 2 I am able to start the VM but the RemoteFX adaptor doesn’t appear in the device manager. I have read generation 2 isn’t compatible with RemoteFX.
VM2 – *Testing purposes* - Windows 8.1 Enterprise configured as generation 1 that is fully patched.
This VM I am able to start up and run the VDI after the RemoteFX video adaptor is installed, also the correct adaptor appears in the device manager. This seems to at least work correctly but I cannot pinch and zoom and the experience is poor.
GPU summary within the Hyper V settings state there are 4 physical GPU’s all of which can be used with RemoteFX and that 1 virtual machine are using the GPU (Windows 8.1 enterprise VM)
Firewalls off, latest RDP clients
I have read you should be able to use Windows 2012 R2 and we should be able to use the sessions with pinch and zoom but now and then you come across something that tells me different.
Question 2 – I need this to work with Windows 2012 R2 so we can use Remote Desktop Sessions
and the tablets can use pinch and zoom, anyone tell me what I may be doing wrong?

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
As per my research, you need to run the command although video adapter is disabled on motherboard. If you install the RemoteFX cap driver, the integrated video adapter is disabled while the operating system is running.
For more information you can refer beneath article.
1. RemoteFX (with Hyper-V) is a serious business tool. For games.
2. Configure RemoteFX in Hyper-V running Windows Server 2012 with low end GPU
Hope it helps!
Thanks.
