I am using latest version of RDP Client 6.1 from my local Windows 7 Enterprise system, as well as RDP Client 6.1 from a Windows 2008 R2 server.
When I connect to other Windows 2008 R2 servers, I am unable to increase the DPI settings. In Control Panel > Ease of Access > Optimize Visual Display > Change the size of text and icons, I get a screen which says “The display settings can’t be changed from a remote session”.
This is unacceptable. I am able to change this setting on any Windows 2008 (pre-R2) server in multiple environments. When is MSFT going to fix this issue in R2?
I have seen other posts on this issue
such as this one -- one person suggests exporting the registry settings under
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics and then to set them on my R2 server.
Can I export those registry keys from a 2008 (non-R2) server where I have set the DPI to 125%, and then import them onto the R2 server?
Thank you.
