Windows 10 - Remote Desktop- Multiple Monitors
I am having a problem using remote desktop to work across 3 monitors.
My work set up is a desktop with 3 monitors (Windows 7 Pro).
I am going to be working remotely for a few weeks and would like to replicate this set up using my laptop (Asus S400CA / Windows 10 Enterprise) + 2 USB monitors (Lenovo ThinkVision LT1451).
Thus far, I have not been able to get this to work properly, or even get the RDU connection to span 2 screens while leaving the other screen powered on.
If I log into RD with both monitors configured, the RD only works on 1 screen.
If i disconnect 1 monitor (leaving laptop plus 1 monitor), the RD will display across 2 screens. Once I connect the 3rd screen, the RD connection contracts to only 1 screen.
I currently have the box checked to Use all monitors for the remote screen.
I have all set to the same resolution (1368 x 760). Relevant code is below.
use multimon:i:1
desktopwidth:i:1368
desktopheight:i:760
span monitors:i:3
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

I use Terminals to accomplish something similar. It's just a wrapper around the official Microsoft Terminal Services ActiveX Client (mstscax.dll) and has Fit To Window/Full Screen/AutoScale/Custom/Some Resolution That You Set options.
It will not give you quite what you are looking for if you have an asymetrical monitor setup.
