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.
