I have decided to ask this question here after failing at a lot of Youtube/Google research.
I am not very experienced with virtual machines, cloud computing, RDPs etc. I just use RDP for some educational purposes to do my research.
The issue is, I used to simply start the instance from Azure portal and start RDP on my laptop windows, enter the public IP, username and password and connected to the virtual machine and started doing my work from there.
However, today, when I wanted to log in to my virtual machine, I couldn't and it took me to a different XVNC screen after entering username and password at RDP.
I have no idea what it is and how do I connect to my RDP? Since, it always says 'login failed for display 0' despite me entering correct username and password.
enter image description here
Any help would be highly appreciated in this regards.
Thanks!
It is likely that you did not set the username/password correctly.
The session manager tries to use your username/password to unlock the screen. When the username/password are incorrect you get the login failed for display 0 message.
And try to reset Virtual Machine Password. Check with this link to reset the VM Password.And you may try using mstsc.exe client software that allow to connect
computer via RDP
And There are some steps to be performed before connecting to Virtual Machine. check with this link where you can find step by step procedure.
And also check with this link to connect VM through RDP.

I have an Azure Virtual Machine connected with Azure Active Directory. A user from this AD is added to this machine as an admin. Other people can successfully RDP to the machine with this user's credential, but I get error saying "The user account used to connect to remote PC did not work. Try again". Well, I am trying the whole day. Does anyone know what can cause this?
The fun fact is, I can RDP to the machine using the local admin, but again it fails with AD user.
I tried connecting with Microsoft Remote Desktop for Mac, mstsc for Windows and with Remote Desktop Connection Manager. The same result everywhere.
I tried different usernames format:
alex.sikilinda#mydomain.com - other people can successfully login using this format
AzureAD\alex.sikilinda#mydomain.com - for windows client getting the same error, for Microsoft Remote Desktop for Mac getting "Your session ended because of an error. If this keeps happening, contact your network administrator for assistance. Error code: 0x807"
AzureAD\AlexSikilinda mstsc error - "Remote machine is AAD joined. If you are signing in to your work account, try using work email instead", Mac - "Your session ended because of an error. If this keeps happening, contact your network administrator for assistance. Error code: 0x807"
Microsoft Remote Desktop for Mac version 10.2.3 (1343)
Windows 10 version 16299 (also tried with 1803 on another machine, the same result).
I also came across the same error for the win10 that is AAD join, and I tried the following way to solve this:
Change VM Remote desktop settings same as the picture
Create a new RDP config file
Open mstsc.exe, click on Show Options and then click Save As(give it a new name such as AzureAD_RDP, save it somewhere easy to find).
Open the saved file using Notepad. Verify that the following two lines are present, if not, add them, and save.
enablecredsspsupport:i:0
authentication level:i:2
RDP to the target VM
Open the RDP config file that you just edited, enter the IP address of the VM, do not enter any username, and then connect.
Here you could use AzureAD\UPN or username to log in.
I haven't tried disabling the NLA (and wouldn't recommend), however in my case was the legacy MFA getting in the way of getting into the VM, even if only enabled for the account, and not forced.
In my case, we're using the Conditional Access with MFA, but we have to exclude the VM from the cloud apps (Azure Windows VM Sign-In), because we're not using Windows Hello (thanks Microsoft for a half baked solution!).

I'm new to Azure; I wanted to take advantage of being able to run PrestaShop (e-commerce software) and Azure marketplace has single VM plan. I followed this video and got it up and running. Trouble is to login to the site's Admin interface you need to know the secret folder that is randomly created by the installer. I have tried the Azure Storage Explorer , but nothing useful is displayed. I also tried to login using putty and SSH, but keep getting access denied. I suspect I need to configure an endpoint for port 22, as described here in order to get ftp working, but apparently this is not possible with a free subscription (?).
Any help as to how I can find that folder name would be appreciated.
With Azure Free Trial Subscription, I can successfully login into the PrestaShop Azure Linux VM without any issue.
Note: No need to configure an endpoint for port 22.
To connect to your Linux virtual machine using SSH, use the following command: ssh username#IPAddress and password.
If you are facing an issue with your login, you can reset the password.
one colleague of mine set up a virtual machine on azure and sent me the following address: abc.cloudapp.net.
He then told me that I can access to the machine, but he didn't tell me how...
Now he is in vacation and I'm stuck with that address...
Here is my questions:
how to use the address he gave me?
do I need an Azure account in order to get access?
should I use my browser (chrome) to access, or should I download some Azure app?
Here's the document that will help you with troubleshooting what is wrong with the VM (in case you can't connect using mstsc)

If this is a virtual machine you should be able to remote desktop to it.
From a Windows based OS go to "Remote Desktop Connection" from the start menu or type mstsc from a Run prompt (Start--> Run or Windows Key + r)
Then type in that address and hit "Connect", you should then be prompted to enter your credentials to log onto the machine
I've got 2 machines:
A corporate desktop machine which is running Windows 7 SP1 which resides on the corporate domain and which I log into using a corporate domain account.
A personal laptop that I use when working from home via the Cisco VPN client but presently sits on my desk connected to the corporate WiFi (though I had it connected to the wire and on the same subnet as my desktop machine today also). This machine is not on the corporate domain; I log into this machine with a Microsoft Account.
I need to run Visual Studio 2013 Release Management Client from both machines. The machine on my desktop works fine when entering either the IP address or the URL into the Release Management Server URL entry field and everything hooks up and all is glorious.
On my Windows 10 laptop however, it's a different story. Every attempt to connect is met with the error:
The server specified could not be reached. Please ensure the
information that is entered is valid (please contact your Release
Management administrator for assistance). <-- I'm the admin
I can ping the machine both with IP address and with hostname, ruling out DNS issues. Both client machines are on the same subnet. Both machines are using the same outbound port.
Checking the event log I see a bunch of Message: The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized.
Checking with Fiddler, on my desktop machine, I can walk through the handshake of each of the stages of startup and all is good. But in Fiddler on my laptop I see 3 401 Unauthorized errors before Release Management Client bombs and returns the rather uninformative message I posted above.
I've attempted to create a shadow account on my laptop and do the Shift-Right Click-Run As Different User dance, but I must be missing something because I can't get this to run.
I've talked to the network administrator who suggests that I should be able to access all of the same resources from both machines and that it must be a Release Management issue.
Is this an incompatibility between VS2013 Release Management & Windows 10 or something else? Has anyone else had this issue and overcome it? I have access to be able to administer the Release Management environment if there's changes that need to be made there and I'm a local administrator on both machines. I'm not however a domain administrator if changes need to be made there.
I would bet you simply have a security issue as the workstation is not domain-joined and the WPF client is using Integrated Authentication.
Often creating a local "shadow" user with same username and password, and running the client app under that account (run as) works.
Another option is to join the workstation to the domain or use a domain-joined VM.
After fully investigating the situation, it appears to have been a combination of factors. I am posting a response because this appears to be a relatively common problem:
The workstation was sending an unexpected credential to the server. To get around this, you have to configure the user account on the server without a domain in the username and create a shadow account on your local machine. When running the client application, you must either log into this shadow account on the local machine or you must SHIFT+RIGHT CLICK and choose "Run as" entering your local shadow credentials. This will then pass the shadow account to the server which will now authenticate without referencing the domain. OR
Create a user account on the server that matches the credentials on your local machine including MACHINENAME\LocalUsername
There appeared to be a network issue when attempting to connect to the Release Management Server from the non-domain machine when connected inside the network. When connecting via the VPN from home, this situation was resolved, but only after we'd ensured the account and local machine accounts were correctly configured. The domain connected machine always connected properly.
I started to try azure today, I am creating a windows 2016 virtual machine, everything is ok but i cant login with the username and password i created on the azure wizard, can anyone help me?
You may want to try from the RDP you download from the connect button in the portal. You may want to connect as .\yourusername instead of just yourusername. You can also try resetting the password from the portal (portal.azure.com), reset remote access.
Have you tried to login with the local administrator account? This allowed me to gain access to my VM, and once logged in I could change some settings.
