Figure 2.10
Define a display size
that works best for
the task you need to
perform.
The Remote Desktop Size slider lets you change the size of the window, with the smallest size
being 640 ? 480 pixels, which is normally too small to work with a GUI system, but can work just
fine with Server Core. If you want to use your entire display to work with Server Core, move the
slider all the way to the right. The size will change to Full Screen and the display will take up your
entire display area. In fact, it will look like you??™re working directly at the remote console, rather
than using Remote Desktop.
NOTE If you want to continue working with your local system while managing the remote
system, make sure you check the Display the Connection Bar When in Full Screen Mode option.
Otherwise, you may need to log out every time you want to regain access to the local system.
Performance isn??™t only affected by screen size. Notice that you can also modify the number of
colors that Remote Desktop displays. More colors translate into a better display, but also reduce
performance because Remote Desktop has to transfer more data for the additional colors.
