Windows Server 2008 R2 was recently released on October 22, 2009. I have already used Windows Server 2008 and enjoyed many of it’s new features but this latest release has got me excited and all for one new feature, Remote Desktop multi-monitor support.
Currently I am remoting to a Windows Server 2008 computer, my local computer runs Windows 7. Remote Desktop Connection available on Windows 7 has support for multiple monitors however the computer you are remoting must also supports multiple monitors remotely. Both Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 have this build-in capability. All you need to do is enable it from your local machine and remote to the destination computer and sit back and enjoy. I’ve tried it (Windows 7 local and Windows Server 2008 R2 remote) and it work without any issues.
So all you remote users out there rejoice and celebrate your productivity has just increased.
