Maximum number of monitors used for remote desktop not working correctly

$

My goal is to connect from my home to my work machine but limit the number of monitors used to 2.

At work, I have a machine running Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 with dual monitors. My home machine is Windows 8.1 Pro and it has 3 monitors (on two video cards).

I followed the instructions of the MSDN blog post about using multiple monitors for remote desktop but cannot get it to work right.

Here's what I see when I modify the group policy setting "Limit maximum number of monitors" on the target (work) machine:

Setting - Result:

1 - 1

2 - 1 (???)

3 - 3

It looks like I can't limit the number of monitors used to 2, I get either one or all. Am I missing something or is this by design?
