Yann96 the following documentation explains how to configure the display settings from the client side: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/remote/remote-desktop-services/clients/windowsdesktop#managed-desktops

However, if you have configured the custom property for multi-mon from the server side, it should take effect automatically.

Yann96 What command did you use to enable multi-mon?

  Yann96 Can you see if the local RDP file has the setting? From the start menu, find the desktop in question in the list of apps, right-click / open file location, right-click on the desktop in Explorer and select Properties. This should have the path to the local RDP file you can open in Notepad to see if the setting is visible.

    DavidBelangerOn the PC who is trying to connect to the VM or the VM? I'm not sure what to do. I'm able to use multiple monitors if I use the standard rdp but not with the rdp where I can use the link to connect.
