Maximized works fine, they want full screen mode, so on 1 desktop, all
you see is your remote computer.  No scroll bars or taskbars.  They want
it to be truly seamless looking, but that doesn't seem like it will be
likely to  happen unless we disable spanning of the desktop.

RDP sessions are probably governed more by the client OS & RDP version
than anything on the server.

Using Windows XP Pro, it maximizes on one of my two screens. I can
Restore Down and move it to the other screen, then maximize it again.
That's no different than any local Windows app. By maximized on 1
desktop, I guess you want it to cover both screens?

 

I'm lucky in that my only dual screen user is me. I don't find it too
difficult to work with. If you can be more specific about the weird
things that happen with RDP, maybe there are workarounds.

Scaling with the RDP client that is running as a published app is the
biggest thing right now.  I can't get it to go maximized on 1 desktop

I am on PS4.  Any tweaks you have ran that I could try?

We are supporting a customer with dual monitors is PS3 and have
experienced the same kinds of issues. There are some counter-intuitive
fixes to some of the problems we have encountered. My best
recommendation is to make sure you are running PS 4 though, Citrix
claims to have improved support for dual monitors significantly in this
new version.

Subject: [THIN] Dual monitor, extended desktops

 

How do I deal with users with dual monitors set for extended desktops in
a citrix environment?  Sometimes apps end up split between the 2 screens
and I have to move them.  When we try to maximize something like the RDP
client (these users need to connect into other computers via Citrix) the
resolution of the combined desktop causes weird things to happen.
