Remote Desktop Service VBO - Changing Screen Resolution

Has anyone tried to change the resolution of the launched rdp session with this object. Is that possible?

Changing resolution of an already launched RDP session through the RDS Object should'nt be possible. it would work with a console session

It's not possible to change the resolution with the VBO as it currently stands. It would be a very small tweak to enable the VBO to set the screen resolution when starting a new session (you just need to add switches such as /w:1024 and /h:768 to the MSTSC command).

It would be very difficult (might be impossible) to adapt the VBO to change the screen resolution mid-session; it would be better to change the resolution within the RDS session itself from the digital worker running inside it.

Thanks so much for your response. I was able to tweak the object and add the switches you recommended and it worked.

I used the site below to get the commands:
