Also from a cmd prompt use mstsc /span will allow a span. But both monitors need to be the same resolution and horizontal. Does work.
How to set resolution for Remote Desktop Connection when you are using 2 monitors
When switching a RDC from the primary to a smaller second monitor the smaller monitor normally has scroll bars on it to get from the bottom taskbar to the window header bar, quite annoying. SOLVED 15-Jan-2012: Change both monitors to use the highest common resolution.
