Desktop in RDP larger than the Current Work Area

Desktop in RDP larger than the Current Work Area

Hello,

I have an entry to open a external RDP session configured to use "Current Work Area Size" and when I open it, there are scrollbars. If I press Ctrl-Alt-Break to make it full screen, I can see a small black stripe on top and on the botton, and those sizes combined are compatible with the taskbar height. The problem is with the RDP frame, which is not discounted from the Current Work Area Size. I believe the concept of "Current Work Area Size" would work perfectly for embedded sessions, but it does not work for external sessions due to the RDP application frame size.
Can this be changed or can I use any kind of workaround? I can fix the size of workspace, of course, but my laptop is used in diferente scenarios: docked, undocked, external monitor... Each time I see a diferente workspace size.

Best regards

Hi,
You're absolutely right that it work well for an embedded session since we have the control over the UI. In external mode it's more complicated to calculate the real space. I suggest you to use it with the undocked mode.

So select Undocked as the display mode and Current Work Area Size for the screen resolution.

Let me know if this help.
