Enter your authentication credentials, then click the Show Options button in the bottom-right corner:. Neither the connection properties nor your credentials will be saved on this machine. So if you plan to have more remote desktop sessions here, or this is one of your RDP servers, better go for one of the other two methods.

Replace x1…16 with the actual numbers of the monitors you have. The first number indicates the primary monitor. But you should note that all the methods described above only apply to the standard RDP app.

The newer black-interfaced one you can get from the Microsoft store has no multi-monitor support whatsoever. For Windows 7 machines, multi-monitor mode is only available for Enterprise or Ultimate builds.

And as for Windows Server builds, both Standard and Datacenter editions of Win , , and can be connected in multi-monitor mode from whatever other Windows versions you have.

This feature was introduced in Windows Vista as an alternative to multi-monitor mode but never gained any popularity. My best guess is that no one liked it because of some restrictions it has. For example, use the local IP address to connect remotely from within the private network and use the correct public IP address to connect over the internet. You may also not be able to connect because the required remote desktop services are not running on Windows Windows 10 can use both networking stacks, IP version 4 IPv4 and version 6 IPv6 — also known as dual-stack — but sometimes, it’ll choose version 6 for the connection, which may cause problems with the remote desktop protocol RDP.

If you try to connect, but the authentication fails, and you are using a Microsoft account, it’s probably a problem with the authentication method. For instance, you may encounter issues if the Microsoft account has the two-step verification or passwordless security feature enabled. If this is the case, you may want to consider creating and using a local account for remote access. After you complete the steps, you can use the local account information instead of the Microsoft account to connect to a remote desktop session.

We outlined the steps to connect to a device inside a private network and through the internet, but allowing remote desktop connections mainly through the internet could be a security risk. Remember that having the remote desktop protocol enabled and opening ports could allow malicious individuals to gain unauthorized access to the computer.

If you need to use this feature, use strong a password, disable the remote desktop service and remove the port forwarding settings from the router when they are no longer needed.

Windows Central Windows Central. Mauro Huculak. Topics Windows 10 Help. See all comments Nice explanation. Just use teamviewer though. I guess there’s advantage to use an OS-native solution. But teamviewer is not free? It is free for personal use, although I do think it probably won’t be free for much longer.

What makes you think so? While I definitely understand the sentiment, living through the LogMeIn transitioning from free to non-free to obnoxiously expensive for more than 2 computers, I would like to give TeamViewer the benefit of the doubt. I support two seniors and two college age kids using TeamViewer and every now and again they would block my account for suspected commercial activity.

Every time I reach out to them and explain the situation the account is unlocked. Every time I ask if they would be willing to come up with the reasonable price for the personal use, they keep saying that the personal use is free.

Remote Utilities is another option I started using a while back. You can use it for personal or commercial purposes for up to 10 computers at no cost. Thanks for the explanation! I’ve spent countless hours with Microsoft Support trying to get this to work and nobody seemed to know how to do it.

Can’t wait to try this to connect my XL on cellular data to my Surface Book on my home network. With Continuum, on a big screen, with a keyboard and mouse, this could be the bridge to hold us W10M enthusiasts until Win32 emulation arrives : ]. I actually did this back in with my Lumia I used it to play Civilization 5 on the go since even the touch controls worked through Remote Desktop. The lag was pretty bad, but it was playable since it’s a turn based game.

This is bad advice. You have to be nuts to expose RDP to the internet. Also note that you need Windows 10 Pro to enable remote desktop connections. The normal Windows 10 version doesn’t have the option to enable it.

Would be worth pointing out that some Windows 10 installations only use the Windows 8. This method always uses display number 0.

As a consequence, the VNC session always connects to the user who is logged into the server system. For example, you can use the Remote Desktop Viewer vinagre application on Linux systems. This method configures a VNC session so that multiple remote clients can connect to the server in parallel. You must first enable the VNC access on the client and the server using command-line tools. Any VNC client application can connect to a server configured using this method. This method executes an SSH command on the client that launches an individual graphical on the server.

The application window opens on the client. This method is useful when you do not require a full remote desktop session. Only a single user can connect to the desktop on the server at a given time. This procedure configures a RHEL server to enable a remote desktop connection from a single client. Navigate to the Sharing menu:. Click Screen Sharing. Set a password in the Password field. Remote clients must enter this password when connecting to the desktop on the server.

This procedure connects to a remote desktop session using the Remote Desktop Viewer application vinagre. It connects to the graphical session of the user that is currently logged in on the server.

Install the Remote Desktop Viewer application on the client:. In the Host field, enter the IP address of the server. On the server, a screen sharing indicator appears on the right side of the top panel:. This enables VNC clients that do not support the encryption to connect to the server.

As a result, the SSH tunnel keeps the connection encrypted. You can remotely connect to the desktop on a RHEL server and open multiple sessions as different users at the same time. With VNC, the client can connect to the desktop sessions of different users on the server. The client uses the port number to specify which server user it connects to. If several clients connect using the same port number, they all open a VNC session to the same server user.

You must configure a mapping for each server user that exports a VNC session. For every such user, you must pick a unique port and display number. Red Hat recommends that you start with port number and display number 2 for the first user, and increment the numbers by one for each additional server user. Port number and display number 0 represent the server user that is currently logged into the graphical session.

You cannot start a VNC server for the user who is already logged into the graphical session. Red Hat recommends that you do not configure the root user to export a VNC session. A root VNC session is unsafe and certain elements of the session might not work as expected.

You must open the selected ports in your firewall configuration. Allowing the vnc-server service in your firewall opens ports from to If you need to enable access to additional server users, you must open ports above by manually specifying the port numbers. Several configuration files affect the behavior of the VNC server. You can configure the user mapping and various global options. The file uses the following format:. The VNC server reads the following files for general options, in order from most important to least important:.

This file replaces the default configuration and has a higher priority than the per-user configuration. It is intended for system administrators who want to enforce particular VNC options. Individual users can override the default VNC configuration in this file. This procedure connects to a remote desktop session using the vncviewer application.

You can open multiple connections to the remote desktop at the same time. You can remotely launch a graphical application on a RHEL server and use it from the remote client. The option is enabled by default in RHEL.

How to increase remote desktop screen – none:.How can I enlarge the remote machine’s display in RDC?

 

I am using Remote Desktop Connection Manager for the first time and I cant for the life of me manage to make the RDC sessions fit into my screen properly. I have the following option checked. The size will adjust to whatever monitor it is on when you connect. If you move it to another monitor or adjust the screen size you can just reconnect and it will correct itself. I was playing with the client resolution settings but I was still connected to the servers, and it was not adjusting, Ill try adjust then reconnect.

Has anyone figured out how to make either the thumbnails or the sessions themselves take up equal parts of the screen? Right click on the top group and click properties, go to «display settings» enable check box for «Scale docked Reopen the RDC and works!!

Thanks to J The best way is to check these two options in display settings. They will be active if you uncheck «Inherit from parent» checkbox. On a very similar topic I could not get my remote screen to stretch to a scale I could see easily. My screens are high dpi and the image was always too small.

It would only scale smaller than native. Resolved it by changing the properties of the application! Only thing that has worked for me of all these answers was to undock first, then go full screen.

Going full screen from with RDP Manager does not seem to work. It worked for me. This topic has been locked by an administrator and is no longer open for commenting.
