Find display settings in Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup section and delete all those lines between starting tag "" and ending tag "" There is some hard coded resolution 1024 x 768... After this the recommended resolution is picked up automatically. I just figured out that the easiest way to set correct resolution is just modify file: deploymentshare\control\unattend.xml.

Find display settings in Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup section and delete all those lines between starting tag “” and ending tag “”

There is some hard coded resolution 1024 x 768…

After this the recommended resolution is picked up automatically.

I had to change it little to get it work. original: For Each oDesktopMonitor in colDesktopMonitors PNPDeviceId = oDesktopMonitor.PNPDeviceId WScript.Echo PNPDeviceID Exit For Next modified: For Each oDesktopMonitor in colDesktopMonitors If (oDesktopMonitor.PNPDeviceId "") Then PNPDeviceId = oDesktopMonitor.PNPDeviceId WScript.Echo PNPDeviceID End If Next That was because one model reported 'null' for first display. The error was: ResSwitch.vbs(18, 2) Microsoft VBScript runtime error: Type mismatch PS. Also, the 1365VidChng.exe command in the end should be with @ mark in it, like 1280x800x32@60 PPS. Sorry for my horrible English ;) Hi, and thanks for this great script. I had to change it little to get it work.

original:
For Each oDesktopMonitor in colDesktopMonitors
PNPDeviceId = oDesktopMonitor.PNPDeviceId
WScript.Echo PNPDeviceID
Exit For
Next

modified:
For Each oDesktopMonitor in colDesktopMonitors
If (oDesktopMonitor.PNPDeviceId “”) Then
PNPDeviceId = oDesktopMonitor.PNPDeviceId
WScript.Echo PNPDeviceID
End If
Next

That was because one model reported ‘null’ for first display. The error was:
ResSwitch.vbs(18, 2) Microsoft VBScript runtime error: Type mismatch

PS. Also, the 1365VidChng.exe command in the end should be with @ mark in it, like 1280x800x32@60

PPS. Sorry for my horrible English ;)
