How to increase the resolution in a virtual machine running windows server 2012 R2?

Need to use VNC to connect to the server and display it on a TV. I want to use the entire TV screen, but the windows resolution doesn't go beyond the standard windows driver. The server doesn't have a dedicated monitor since it's a virtual machine.

This is a bare metal. I'm using ultra vnc but I can't get the mirror driver to install on my machine .

Rather than using VNC to connect to the server use Remote Desktop to connect to it. Remote desktop doesn't depend on the server's physical resolution, but rather can use the full resolution available to your local PC you are using to remote into the server.
Thanks rindi! The thing is that I need to be able to have multiple users log in at the same time, to the same session.

I wasn't aware of the grading system, since the comments didn't resolve my issue I gave them a C. The Information provided to me was good, but not what I was looking for. If possible we can change the grade to B since the info might be helpful to someone else.
