Dual monitor support problem

[m6rk]

I am able to stretch the remote desktop a bit using command line arguments
to launch remote desktop E.g mstsc.exe /v:serverip /w:2048 /h:768. But it
maxes out at 1600 pixels horizontally - not the 2048 I want. Anyone know
how to get the width right?

Local and remote systems are running XP SP2

Remote Desktop does not support dual monitor setups/resolutions.

since remote desktop does not support 2 monitors, you can either use
the application sharring feature in netmeeting, or VNC www.realvnc.com

If your going to use VNC then at least use UltraVNC with its encryption plug-in or run VNC through a
VPN or SSH tunnel if this connection is over the public internet... The native VNC data stream is
*NOT* encrypted and is therefore a potential and probable security risk...

I had checked out VNC in general, unfortunately it does not support dual
monitor either.
