7.4.6VRDP multiple connections

The VirtualBox built-in RDP server supports simultaneous connections to the same running VM from different clients. All connected clients see the same screen output and share a mouse pointer and keyboard focus. This is similar to several people using the same computer at the same time, taking turns at the keyboard.

The following command enables multiple connection mode:

VBoxManage modifyvm VMNAME --vrdpmulticon on

If the guest uses multiple monitors then multiple connection mode must be active in order to use them at the same time (see chapter 9.6, Multiple monitors for the guest, page 133).
