    Use Microsoft Remote Desktop

    Find the default.rdp file and edit it in notepad.
    Enter these anywhere in the file, end is easiest

    screen mode id:i:1
    use multimon:i:0
    desktopwidth:i:2560
    desktopheight:i:1440
    smart sizing:i:1

    the width and height define the resolution that you want to connect at on the VM
    smart sizing allows the screen to scale

    It should "hopefully" work for you, good luck :p

  2. I had issues with a high DPI screen: resolution under MSFT RDP sucked. If you have a 4K screen the following may help:

    Regular Remote Desktop is not aware of DPI scaling but Microsoft Remote Desktop Manager is.

    Link to MSFT http://www.microsoft.com/en-US/download/details.aspx?id=21101

    Tab: Remote Desktop Settings, uncheck Inherits from Parent
    Select Full Screen under Remote Desktop Size.

    Have 3840x2160 and using the manager instead of regular Remote Desktop worked perfectly.

    Dumb question: Is the Remote Desktop Manager used as the client software on all the PC's?
