Hi,
I have Windows Server 2019 Standard with Hyper-V and NVIDIA dual monitor card, I have a legacy Windows Server 2003 running as a VM within the host, this VM has an application that must display on two monitors.

the dual monitors is setup on the host but I am not sure on how to pass it to the VM. I don't want to use RDP as the end-user will be looking at the server / Hyper-V directly through its monitors.

How can I pass dual monitors support to the VM?
Thanks

    Is this a remote connection? You can RDP to the VM (click the "Use all monitors for the remote session" box for this one) and have a separate RDP session to the host.

    Hi,

    As far as I know, if we want to use dual monitors for the VM, we should use RDP to connect to the VM, or use the Enhanced session mode to connect(Enhanced session is also use RDP.)

    However, since Server 2003 VM is out of support, so we don't have Server 2003 to test for you, I can't confirm if RDP and enhanced session mode could work. If the ways can't work, as far as I'm concerned, it might not support.

    If the reply could be of help, please help to accept it as an answer, thanks for your cooperation!
    Thanks for your time!
    Best Regards,
    Anne
