Could you please reply to the question posted at https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/fea1b627-decd-40d7-877b-b34ea5499677/change-screen-resolution-in-session-0-windows-server-20122012r2?forum=winservergen

By default session 0 on Windows Server 2016 has non-interactive "screen" resolution 1024x768.
Is it possible to set it to some bigger resolution? How?

 

Document posted at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/hardware/design/dn653293(v=vs.85) mentions display resolution in Session 0 can be 1920x1200.

administrator@EC2AMAZ-MRSO5PP C:\Users\Administrator> setres -w 1366 -h 768 -f                        
setres will now attempt to apply the following display settings:
  Width:          1366                                                                               
  Height:         768                                                                                
The settings passed in could not be applied to the graphics device.
