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

[jr348]

Hi,

Does anyone know how to change the desktop size after connecting via RDP?

My OS is defaulting to 1024x768 but the application needs 1920x768.

We use the tscon.exe command to swith the session to "con:" which is set at the lower resolution.

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?

Thanks

Hi Alex,

Thanks for the solution which is the best as it changes the console default resolution in the registry.  I will give it a try.

As it is I used this which runs first before any applications are opened:

     getActiveXObject("WScript.Shell").Run("powershell -command Set-DisplayResolution -Width 1920 -Height 1080 -Force");
