Accessing work compute from home. Have 2 monitors at both locations. I'm assuming that ultramon does not support both screens at the remote location but can't the hot keys be used to swap the screens at the remote location. Problem is when I load a specific app., it is loading on the 2nd work montior. I can't see it from home. Would like to simply hit a hot key and have the app switch to the correct monitor at work, so I can see it at home. Please help...

UltraMon currently doesn't support this, you would need to move the application manually, for example by activating its task button, then press ALT+SPACE, followed by M, you can then move the window using the arrow keys.
The Move Window hotkey doesn't work because only a single monitor is available during the remote session.

If think the new version of remote desktop supports multiple monitors on both ends.

Support for moving offscreen windows back to the visible desktop will be considered for UltraMon 3.

Jim is correct, monitor spanning now works across Remote Desktop. See: http://blogs.msdn.com/ts/archive/2006/11/10/multi-monitor-support-in-the-vista-ts-client.aspx

However, RDP spanning does exactly what it says -- put you into spanned mode. Since the smart toolbar works on independent displays, Ultramon doesn't get to work its magic. This is where the ability to divide one display into sections would come in handy.

I saw your scripts section which have VMonMaximizeWnd already created. how could I go about creating a script that would look at the # of monitors and if it only finds 1, then splits the sceen into 2 vitual monitors. looks like most of the work is done in this script, just need something to query the # of monitors and only split vertically if it finds 1.
I think this would solve most people's biggest problem with /span in terminal services.
Anyone?
Thanks!

You could use the scripts within the remote session instead of the regular move to monitor/maximize to desktop hotkeys or window buttons.
The scripts can only do those two things, for example the Smart Taskbar etc won't work within a remote session.
