| 8 | To access two or more remote VM displays you have to enable the
|
|---|
| 9 | VRDP multiconnection mode. See
|
|---|
| 10 | <xref href="vrde-multiconnection.dita#vrde-multiconnection"/>.

| 13 | The RDP client can select the virtual monitor number to connect
|
|---|
| 14 | to using the <codeph>domain</codeph> login parameter
|
|---|
| 15 | (<codeph>-d</codeph>). If the parameter ends with
|
|---|
| 16 | <codeph>@</codeph> followed by a number, <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/>
|
|---|
| 17 | interprets this number as the screen index. The primary guest
|
|---|
| 18 | screen is selected with <codeph>@1</codeph>, the first
|
|---|
| 19 | secondary screen is <codeph>@2</codeph>, and so on.

| 22 | The Microsoft RDP 6 client does not let you specify a separate
|
|---|
| 23 | domain name. Instead, enter
|
|---|
| 24 | <codeph><varname>domain</varname>\<varname>username</varname></codeph>
|
|---|
| 25 | in the <b outputclass="bold">Username</b> field. For
|
|---|
| 26 | example, <codeph>@2\<varname>name</varname>
|
|---|
| 27 | </codeph>.
|
|---|
| 28 | <varname>name</varname> must be supplied, and must be
|
|---|
| 29 | the name used to log in if the VRDP server is set up to require
|
|---|
| 30 | credentials. If it is not, you may use any text as the username.
