Windows Screen Resolution Cookbook

Cookbook Version
Build Status
GitHub Issues

Sets headless screen resolution on Windows. It does this by creating a new user called rdp_local that has a
startup script to RDP into the specified user account at specified screen resolution (default is 1920x1080). A
firewall rule is created to open RDP port 3389. Finally, Windows auto-logon is configured to login as rdp_local
on reboot.

Note that auto-logon requires a username and password and that the password is stored unencrypted under
windows registry HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon.

Tested on Amazon Windows Server 2012 R2 AMI.
