Use 1024 * 768 resolution is Standard for Testing Application in any RDP

Not sure there is, exactly, a "standard". I used to run test automation on 800X600 boxes and it worked fine. The 640X480 might work for certain situations, even. For example, self-service Kiosks used to have their OS set to 640X480 because the screens were small so test automation needed to run in those environments.
Whatever resolution is NEEDED for the specific application, that's what needs to be set. Colin_McCrae's solution is a good one. Of course, depending upon the underlying infrastructure, there may be different ways of achieving the same result.
We are investigating this solution. (This is not so perfect for us because we are not the team in charge of this VM)
We tried also to modify the default resolution directly through registry; without success. It seems that this default resolution (1024x768) is set by Hyper-V, and the session of the TeamCity agent will use that as it's current (virtual) resolution.
Create manually a remote desktop connection and start the tests with TE using Network Suite and Manual mode is not possible also for us...
Is there any way to change someting in TestComplete settings to change the resolution used while creating the RDC (Network Suite and Automatic Mode) ?
There is also default config file use by RDC (Default.rdp in User\Documents) where you can put default settings for the connection, is this possible to provide or to modify the one used by TestComplete ?
We don't know exactly how TestComplete is creating the remote desktop connection, I'm assuming it's using mstsc.
If we can provide display settings for this RDC it would be perfect.
Hi Camille,
Check if http://superuser.com/questions/604026/how-to-set-default-screen-resolution-and-color-depth-without-monitor-in-windows helps. (Should be done on the master machine with TeamCity.)
