I use a laptop and I am docking and undocking frequently. Often when I connect to another machine using remote desktop, the screen size gets messed up when I dock again. By "messed up" I mean that it stays the size of my lap top screen (wide screen ratio). Clicking maximize will not get it to go full screen.
Any ideas (other than a reboot) how I can reset this?
Answer
The problem is that the RDP-client remembers the resolution of your last connection.
This can be remedied by adjusting the resolution in the RDP-connection dialog to "Full Screen"
Options >> Display > Remote Desktop Size: Full Screen (to the right)
Another possibility is to create a desktop shortcut for each of your frequently used resolutions. This can be done by making a shortcut to RDP and adding the following flags:
/w:[width] and /h:[height]
Examples of shortcuts would then be:
Docked: %SystemRoot%\system32\mstsc.exe /w:1600 /h:1200
Laptop: %SystemRoot%\system32\mstsc.exe /w:1920 /h:1200
