Lower Screen Resolution

[Guest MR Peterson]

I have a user that got a brand new laptop. I set him up just like any other

laptop on the network. In fact his was the third of its kind. When he runs

Remote Desktop his MINIMUM screen resolution is 1440x900. It will not go any

smaller. The Term Server is 1024x768. Everyone else can adjust to whatever

they want but, his will only go to much higher resolutions. The other like

laptops don't do this. Help save the poor mans eyes. What do I need to do.

RE: Lower Screen Resolution

 

The screen resolution of the Terminal Services Session is completely

determined by the client settings, before the session is created. The screen

resolution of the console session on the TS is not a factor.

 

One can set the screen resolution to a custom size via the /h: and /w:

switches to mstsc.exe. Do start -> run -> mstsc.exe /? for all of the options.
