Default Remote Desktop on Windows 2008 Server - 03-28-2011 , 08:16 PM






I have a client who has just installed Windows 2008 Server and uses RDP on
both LAN and remotely to run my application (Access 2002). It worked fine on
2003 Server, but now the remote desktop displays my screens in a resolution
which is difficult to read.
I'm informed that 2008 Server has removed the facility to adjust the
resolution for RD either from the server or remotely.
Has anyone else experienced this problem and have a solution?

I had a problem connecting older Wise terminals to Windows 2008 server
virtual machines. Using old Windows 2000 workstation allowed me to set the
resolution to something usable. RDP is limited to resolutions on the
terminal that are compatible with those on the server. Note virtual machines
are accessed using the same RDP client as Terminal server, but are quite
different; in that each session is completely independent of others on the
server.

I use remote desktop to connect to client servers both 2003 and 2008 and
have never had any problem with screen resolution.
Maybe it is the version of remote desktop client that is being used.
There is a new version, which even allows spreading the desktop across
multiple monitors.

Thank you for your reply, but have you tried to change the screen resolution
in Windows 2008 server for remote TS connections?
I am using RDP version 7.
