How to change resolution / DPI / font settings globally for a terminal server?
We just got new monitors for everybody and need to change some DPI settings if possible. The monitors are slightly larger but a much higher resolution, so the icons and text are just too small for everybody when in a remote session. I'd love any suggestions as to how we can just change it for everybody.
Thanks

Will the GPO setting affect the local machine, or the remote desktop session onto the terminal server?
its possible to use GPO to configure various Terminal Services settings in Windows Server 2008 if that what you are asking:

I guess what I need to understand properly is the following:
Do I need to modify the local machine, or the remote session, for the end-user to have larger more legible fonts?
I'd prefer to change the DPI setting instead of the resolution if at all possible. Most work is done in the remote session.

My reason was what resolved the problem. We didn't realize it was an inherent issue with Server 2008 R2 SP1.
