How to set multiple displays on Amazon EC2 Windows VM

Question

Hi,

I hope all is well. I am new to AWS. I set up a windows vm for one of mu business partners to run. They want to have multiple monitors support. Is there anyway to provide that without using Amazon Workspaces?

Thank you

Answer

Have you tried using the /span switch on a mstsc.exe command ? When using RDP?

Answer

You can install [NICE DCV](https://aws.amazon.com/hpc/dcv/). It supports [multiple monitors](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/dcv/latest/userguide/using-multiple-screens.html). Amazon Workspaces is [powered by](https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2023/05/amazon-workspaces-nice-dcv-extension-sdk/) NICE DCV technology.

Installation files can be downloaded from https://download.nice-dcv.com/. Refer to [documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/dcv/latest/adminguide/setting-up-installing-windows.html) for installation guidance.
