SPLIT SCREEN ON Windows Multipoint Server 2011
Any MultiPoint Server station monitor that has a resolution greater than 1024x768
can be split into two station screens using the split screen task on the Stations tab in
MultiPoint Manager. The screen that is present on the monitor at the time that the
splitting occurs moves to the left half of the monitor, and a new station’s screen is
created on the right half of the same monitor. The new station screen must be
mapped to a keyboard, mouse, and USB hub to complete the creation of the new
station. ---- refer from page 12, WMS2011 Planning Guide. Doc-Microsoft Word
After a station is split, one user can log on to the left station while another user logs
on to the right station as the figure 1 show below.
