Text too small on high resolution displays

Symptoms

When connecting to an RDS session from a machine which uses a high resolution display, icons and text within the published session are very small in size.

Cause

Since the session is being run remotely at a different resolution, much lower than the resolution used locally, when the resource is mirrored, the same amount of pixels used remotely will be mirrored locally.

As a result, the mirrored content is small in size which may be uncomfortable for some users.

Resolution

Some ways to alleviate such behavior may be:

On Windows 8 clients and above, open the windows Parallels RAS client and try to toggle the option "DPI Aware" from the Options menu.
