and what are the xx-es.
The IP address of the machine you want to rdp into
This assumes you are using standard port 3389

No, span doesn't work correct as, what I mentioned, screensizes are different.

Btw, you don't need to add the /v.
Will this do it ?
1. Edit an RDP session and define your connection settings
2. Connect to your RDP session via a non-fullscreen window.
3. Drag the window to your second monitor
4. Make the window fullscreen & then close it
5. Click on 'Save as' to save the RDP file
When you open the RDP file, it will now pop-up on the second monitor in
full-screen.

Without being rude, i told you how to spread over two screens. RDP isn't clever enough to work with two different screen modes and you either use it as it is or you only use one screen.
There is no way to have a single session on dual monitors with different res.

That's not rude. That's actually the answer I was looking for: is it possible or not?

Seems to suggest anything from version 6 upwards but needs their splitview utility ( Few dollar purchase )
they seem pretty comfident?
I will try it myself - but doing a network upgrade so may have to wait til the weekend?

Thanks cpmcomputers but there is an option built into RDP, see my latest post, which works perfectly.
Sorry Misunderstood, I thought you were saying this could not be done
As others will search on this (no doubt someone will want to do the same)
The specific answer is make sure you have RDP Client v7 (or later) installed
