Does Windows 7 Professional support true multi monitor RDP session (as a server)?
We're using 3 monitor setups with both portrait and landscape monitors.I did initial testing of the new "true multi monitor" feature of RDP 7.It worked great as long as I was connecting to either Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows 7 Ultimate (both in trial versions). Based on additional research of microsoft websites that noted that true mutli monitor remote desktop connection is support by Windows 7 Professional, Ultimate or Enterprise, we have purchased 5 new computers with Win 7 Professional.Now I'm trying to connect to Windows 7 Professional from Windows 7 Professional system and I can only get the RDC session on one monitor only. Quite frustrating.I contacted both Dell and Microsoft but neither could tell me if Win 7 Professional can host true multi monitor session.Did any of you try this? I'm trying to determine if it is Win 7 Pro limitation or some system setting that I'm missing?Thanks.

It looks like MSFT changed the FAQ at some point...In Windows7 Ultimate and Windows7 Enterprise editions, Remote Desktop Connection supports the use of multiple high-resolution displays in a remote session.MS-MVP Windows Desktop Experience, "When all else fails, read the instructions"
