Azure VM Allow RDP is a possibility with this helpful guide by our experts. Read on to find out more. 

At Bobcares, we offer solutions for every query, big and small, as a part of our Server Management Services.

Let’s take a look at how our Support Team helped our customers allow RDP in Azure VM.

Guide: Azure VM Allow RDP

The Remote Desktop is responsible for offering us access to the desktop of a role currently running in Azure. Furthermore, we can use the Remote Desktop connection to find the root cause behind application errors while it running. Our Support Engineers even use it as a diagnostic tool in certain scenarios.

Every Azure VM has RDP or Remote Desktop Protocol by default. In other words, port 3389 is enabled and offers access to any RDP connection from an IP address anywhere across the globe.

According to our Support Team, we can enable the RDP port in a Network Security Group with the following steps:

1. To begin with, we have to sign in to the Azure portal.
2. Then, head to Virtual Machines and choose the VM that has an issue.
3. Next, navigate to Settings> Networking.
4. After that, head to the Inbound port rules Section and verify the RDP port is set up correctly. For instance:

   Priority: 300
   Name: Port_3389
   Port(Destination): 3389
   Protocol: TCP
   Source: Any
   Destinations: Any
   Action: Allow

Additionally, we can specify a source IP address or range of IP addresses to ensure that traffic from these addresses can connect to the virtual machine. Furthermore, we have to verify the computer we are using to start the RDP session is within the specified range.
