11.6 HF1 APM - RDP ActiveX multiMonitor support - RDP in general

Has anyone had success getting multiple monitors to work with the F5 "Remote Desktop" ActiveX Resource? Additionally, with MAC clients/JavaRDP, we have a few issues (Clients occasionally Disconnecting with Out of Memory exception / OutofBounds errors) - OS/Java Version do not seem to make a difference. Additionally, we were wondering if anyone had success using straight up RDP or any alternatives (RDP Gateway?) that support 2 Factor Authentication along with AD logins from a MAC?

 

Thank you.

    I've not come across RDP behaving anywhere near sanely when trying to use with multiple monitors. Even with multiple monitors on client and server, it just doesn't seem to behave. Best I got was remote ('server' end) had 2 screens, and when using 2 screens on client I could convince it to mirror the first screen... Not much use though, because anything on the second screen is just inaccessible.

     

    I have had GREAT results with Horizon View though. Multiple monitors at client side and switching to single monitor, everything just resizes. It's great from iPad too. You connect and select which running app you want to present on the iPad. And switch between them. Very nice
