Resizing the desktop when connected remotely via RDP to Windows Server 2016

Question

Hi,&nbsp;Does anyone know how to change the desktop size after connecting via RDP?&nbsp;My OS is defaulting to 1024x768 but the application needs 1920x768.&nbsp;We use the tscon.exe command to swith the session to "con:" which is set at the lower resolution.&nbsp;I'm thinking we'll have to change that in the VM graphics config but is there any other way of doing it "in code" or OS scripting?&nbsp;Thanks

Hi Alex,&nbsp;Thanks for the solution which is the best as it changes the console default resolution in the registry.&nbsp; I will give it a try.&nbsp;As it is I used this which runs first before any applications are opened:&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;getActiveXObject("WScript.Shell").Run("powershell -command Set-DisplayResolution -Width 1920 -Height 1080 -Force");&nbsp;&nbsp;Jonathan&nbsp;&nbsp;
