RDC Resolution Issues

[nsanto17]

I have a user that is currently RDCing into my 2003 TS server. He wants his RDC session to be at a different resolution then his laptop. I am not sure this is possiable. Can anyone help shed some light on this one. I have searched google and can't find much on the topic.

I think we all have users that are really picky like this. I told him to change his local resolution which i know would work but of course... He wont...

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

In the RDC client he uses to connect to the TS he can change his resolution. Open the RDC client click the Options button then the Display tab and adjust from there.

This can also be done via command line or with a desktop shortcut.

See these command line options of the mstsc.exe command:

/v:server : Specifies the remote computer to which you want to connect.

/f : Starts Remote Desktop connection in full-screen mode.

/w:width /h:height : Specifies the dimensions of the Remote Desktop screen.

So, if a user wanted a particular resolution for a particular server, he/she could create a shortcut on the desktop to this target:

mstsc /v:serverName /w:1024 /h:768

One useful thing is to set the width to be the same as their own desktop, and the hight to be a little shorter so your own start menu is still visible.

Thanks,
