I am attempting to run the SMAT tool and get an error: System.InvalidProgramException: The minimum working area is 1024x728. We have detected the working area as 1280x680. Either run the assessment tool with -q to run in quiet mode or use a resolution larger than the minimum when connecting to the server.
I've attempted to run this on two different servers and have the same error message.
Help!

As trevorseward mentioned, you could try to adjust some resolution to see if it works normally.

I, as well, have to run SMAT -q to get it to run. I've validated resolution for the cmd window and the desktop resolution is above the required. Seems like a bug in the tool.
