    Hi All,

    I am running WS08 Terminal Server. I set my resolution to 1024 x
    768. But, every time
    I walk away from it, sessoins get set back to 800 x 600. Is there a
    way I can lock my screen resolution?

    Many thanks,
    -T

    Hi!

    We haven't seen any issue with this client... I have more questions for
    you:): the resolution changes while teh session is active? Or it is locked?

    Thanks,
    Geanina

    I should state here that the 800x600 I am complaining
    about is on the console.

    It happens when ever a particular user logs in from home
    and run one of the programs. I think she is changing the
    resolution. Which confuses me, as I thought it was not a
    global setting in TS. It double confuses me as I use
    Linux's "rdesktop" and "krdc", which allows me to set
    whatever desktop I want on the thing, and neither
    changes the default resolution when I log into the
    console.

    Todd,

    User can't change screen resolution inside TS session, what display card and
    driver you have on the machine? do you have multi-monitor setup? also, do
    you know what program this user runs?

    Thanks.

    Hi Todd!

    It will be helpful to clarify the repro as well. Plesae correct the below
    steps if necessary:

    1. User has a TS session on the desktop at work
    2. From home, connects remotely to the desktop at work
    3. Comes back at work, and on the desktop the TS session has the resolution
    changed

    Thanks,
    Geanina

    They are mainly running Quick Books. The display adapter is
    the Virtual Machine's adapter (VirtualBox Graphics Adapter).

    Users have occasionally have multimonitors. Users seems
    not to have a problem scaling TS to their monitors. Just
    me operating the console.

    Yesterday it was on 1280x1024 (I want it on 1024x768).

    Hi Geanina,

    1. the users sessions just scale to whatever their
    native resolution is.

    2 & 3. the users work from both home and work. They
    have no problem as TS just scales no matter where
    they are.

    I am the one with the problem. The "console's" resolution
    seems to be changing every week I go in. Two weeks ago
    it was 800x600. Last Tuesday is was 1280x1024. I want it
    at 1024x768. I keep changing to something else.
