11.5 Configuring a Multi-Monitor (Extended Desktop) Setup with RDP
and Box Thin Client BTC
When you use a Box Thin Client BTC with multiple monitors, you can stretch one RDP connec-
tion across all connected monitors. The RDP connection will then behave like a local “extended
desktop.”
To configure an RDP connection as multi-monitor connection, please proceed with the follow-
ing steps:
Configuring a Multi-Monitor Connection with RDP and BTC
1.
Connect the further required monitors.
2. Login in to user role Administrator.
3. Open Profile Management.
4. Select the RDP connection that you want to expand across all connected monitors and enable
the feature Fullscreen Mode.
5. Go to section Display Settings and change the feature Show the connection on
the following displays to Expand over all displays.
6. Apply the changes.
For further information, read the official Microsoft article that describes the configuration steps
in detail: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc754272(v=ws.11).aspx
Important: The “Extended Desktop” RDP connection can only be established to host systems
that run Windows 7 Ultimate, Windows 7 Enterprise, (and Windows Server 2008 R2 or newer).
This feature is not supported by Windows 7 Professional! See Microsoft Community post:

Note
This function is only available when multiple monitors are connected to the
device.
Note
To reflect the physical arrangement of your connected monitors with the RDP connection,
ensure that the monitors are also correctly arranged in the display settings. Refer to the chapter
“Display Settings” to check how a multi-monitor setup can be configured.
