#SERVER 2016 UPDATE RESTART OPTIONS GREYED OUT HOW TO#

I really know a lot of Hypervisor platforms and have 15 years of experience with VMware and the likes, but never had any problems to change the display resolution via the console, even if itвЂ™s only 640x480 and a change to 800ењ†00 is only possible, but that I am forced to change the display resolution in the UEFI-firmware and that display resolution change within Windows is no longer possible, is unique to Nutanix AHV VMs imho! After syspreping and cloning those VM-templates, they get connected to networks and then RDP is used of course.

Updates, like Cumulative Updates in Windows Server 2016 are done via ISO medias. Yes absolutely, but as long as there is no network connection, one is forced to use the VNC Console until everything is setup and I am talking about VM-template generation, where there are no network connections availaible, as here they stay disconnected.

Here is a KB describing the issue that you encountered specifically KB-4792 AHV | How to change display resolution on Windows VMs running in UEFI mode. AFAIK, sysprep defaults the resolution to 1024 x 768 вЂ“ something to keep in mind. I would recommend to sysprep the OS prior to making an image out of it. Have you considered deploying VMs from an image? This way you can skip the installation phase entirely and arrive at initial set up. The thing is, VNC is intended for troubleshooting, debugging and such rather then as a all time access tool.Дoes the issue appear when you connect via RDP post the installation? RDP is using a different driver hence you should be able to adjust the screen as required.

Therefore, you would need to change the resolution settings in UEFI in order to affect VNC connection resolution. Would it be correct to say that the issue you are experiencing is when connecting to the VM by using вЂњLaunch consoleвЂќ feature in Prism? When using вЂњLaunch consoleвЂќ screen resolution is picked up from UEFI settings and Windows driver does not have the ability to change that setting.
