Remote Desktop multiple monitors Window 7 pro
Hi
We have bought 2 x Windows 7 Pro pcs - one for the remote end and one for the local end.
The remote end pc has dual monitors
We want to be able to run dual monitors on the remote pc only.
I have researched and it looks like this is unsupported with Windows 7 pro - but supported in Windows 7 ultimate
Can someone please conmfirm if I need to upgrade the local or remote end pc to Windows 7 ultimate??
I dont want to have to purchase 2 licenses ideally
Many thanks

i believe that WIndows 7 ultimate is needed at the remote end but I never got the chance to tet it as the mstsc / spam mode did the trick for the client in question and they were happy with this solution and this worked without having to spend the money out on windows 7 ultimate but i dont like how Microsoft dont seem to have made it clear that its now not supported on Windows 7 pro even though it was in Xp pro
Anyway thanks for all your help
