Desktop Size and Auto Expand
In the Global RDP Settings, users are able to select either a fixed desktop size or an automatic one
.
Auto Resize is not supported on target systems running Windows Server 2012 or older.
Auto resize is unavailable on macOS when proxy is enabled. Full screen mode is also unavailable for proxied connections launched via protocol handler.
The table below should be used as a guide into how an RDP session will be displayed depending on the chosen desktop size. The following settings are applicable for both Local and Global RDP connections.
Initial Size | Auto Resize | Connect | Expand | Shrink |
---|---|---|---|---|
Auto | Yes | Fill CM window | No rescale, border | Rescale image, no scrollbars |
Auto | No | Fill CM window | No rescale, border | No rescale, scrollbars |
Fixed | Yes | Fixed size, border | Fixed size, border | Rescale image, no scrollbars |
Fixed | No | Fixed size, border | Fixed size, border | No rescale, scrollbars |
If RDP proxy is ON, no reconnect will be attempted because RDP proxy requires a one time password and it is impossible to reuse the same credentials to reconnect.
