Default are split screen apps. (2 monitor) possible on term serv?


hello,
I got a bit of an unusual request today. There are some apps. the users
work with that require 2 monitors. 1 to see documents, the other to
view code (text). On a desktop system this runs fine, but over term.
server this seems like it's not possible.
Does anyone know about this? Has anyone ever had to setup a citrix or
term. server to work with apps. that use 2 monitors?

Thanks,

Oskar

The "extend my desktop" feature does not work over a terminal
services connection, so there is no multi-monitor capability in
Windows TS. I'm not 100% sure of Citrix, though.

With Citrix this is possible. (as always there are some quirks with certain
video drivers) but I have it working at a number of lcoations.
