Windows 7 Remote Desktop and virtualization

Categories: Hyper-V, Windows 7 Posted by Tore Lervik on 3/21/2009 8:21 PM | Comments (0)
There are two trends in the IT world that until now has been incompatible with each other.
  • Multiple monitors to get a better overview.
  • Work on a VM over RDP to enable easier access and “sandbox” the work environment.
With Windows 7 (7057) the latest RDP changes are in, and the result is pretty impressive. After creating a new Windows 7 VM in Hyper-V I connected using RDP on my client.


Note the “Use all my monitors for the remote session” checkbox under Display.

The VM comes up on both monitors and acts just like my local client does. Finally I can run my workstation virtualized without losing dual screen support.
 
 
 Note: Windows 7 is required on both clients.

After testing it on both my laptop and in Hyper-V I've found some interesting stuff I wanted to share.
