Setting Screen Resolution during OSD

We have a requirement to set screen resolution to 1280*720 and also have a script to do this task.

The problem is the script runs when execute locally but fails when executed from TS (Failed To Change The Resolution). Could you please help me to solve the issue?

Script used:

Function Set-ScreenResolution {
param (
[Parameter(Mandatory=$true,
           Position = 0)]
[int]
$Width,
[Parameter(Mandatory=$true,
           Position = 1)]
[int]
$Height
)
$pinvokeCode = @"

Where in the TS are you running this and with what command-line? Have you examine smsts.log to see it's status?

Why not just set this in your unattend.xml file or customsettings.ini if using MDT (if not using MDT, why not?)

It is sequenced after OS and SCCM Client is installed and with command "cmd.exe /C %SYSTEMDRIVE%\OSD\Install.cmd /f"

The Install.cmd installs the screen resolution script with command "cmd.exe /c powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy unrestricted -File %SYSTEMDRIVE%\OSD\CIS\ChangeResolution.ps1"

We have different OSD images for different location , and we only want to change the resolution in one location. Hence afraid to change the customsettings.ini 

Thanks,

The whole point of customsettings.ini is to be dynamic. Within it, you can easily create different sections for different locations:
