Screen configuration ESX 3.0

I would like to know how I can config the screen size on ESX server. When I start up my virtual machine, the screen size is small and I want to open the screen as big as possible.

Thanks in advance.

This will be done when you install VMware tools inside the guest OS, it will resize the VM according to the available screen...

Beside the correct video driver for a virtual machine, which allows you to enlarge the resolution and autosizing of the screen the VMware Tools contain some more important things, like drivers, and memory and time management, etc., so you should install them in every virtual guest and not only under ESX. You'll find them in every VMware product and you should install them in every guest.

You can simply adjust the resolution inside the VM.

Do you want to change the resolution in your Guest OS?

If so you can set this automaticaly via a script(google for it) or gpo for Windows.
