Azure RemoteApp is supported on the RemoteApp client apps for Windows and Windows RT, as well as the Microsoft Remote Desktop apps for Mac, iOS and Android. Your users can use these apps on their mobile or compute devices to access the new Azure RemoteApp programs. See Accessing your apps in Azure RemoteApp for more information about the clients. Today we’re announcing the public preview of Azure AD Application Proxy (App Proxy) support for the Remote Desktop Services (RDS) web client. Many of you are already using App Proxy for applications hosted on RDS and we’ve seen a lot of requests for extending support to the RDS web client as well. Azure Remote Apps is a fantastic feature to make your corporate desktop/ windows applications run in the Cloud, while ensuring that corporate policies and compliances are adhered to. Using this feature, users can experience true Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD) scenarios while using their corporate applications.

I’m frequently on the move and switch between devices. I could be working at home one day, at a hotel working, on site at a customer office with no internet, on a plane. I just never know. Part of my workflow is running some of my daily activities on an Azure VM. I can get to it from pretty much anywhere and it doesn’t matter what device I do or don’t have access to, I can always get to what I need and access the Microsoft network.

In order to access everything from our corporate network I have joined the computer using Azure Active Directory (Azure AD). Before I show you how to remote desktop to an Azure AD joined VM or computer, let me show the steps to join a computer to Azure AD. This requires the machine to be running Windows 10 version 1709 or later to connect to Azure AD but 1809 or later to remote desktop with Azure AD credentials. This can be a physical computer or a virtual machine.

Join a Computer to Azure Active Directory

First, launch the Windows Settings app and navigate to the Accounts section.

Using the left side navigation go to the Access work or school section and click Connect.

On the resulting screen click the link at the bottom of the page labeled Join this device to Azure Active Directory.

Proceed through the wizard by entering your email address, authenticate with your company’s preferred method, and verify the domain information.

Upon completion the work or school access screen will now show that you are connected to your organizations Azure AD along with the account used to connect.

Unfortunately, at this time it isn’t quite as easy as “open up a new RDP connection, type in the computer, type my email, and connect”. If it were, this post wouldn’t be here. So let’s look at the steps we need to go through to get connected.

First, open remote desktop as if you were going to connect to any other computer. Type in the computer name or IP address and expand the the Show Options section. Next, click the Save As button to save the RDP file locally. I’m going to place mine on my desktop. At this point you can close the Remote Desktop Connection dialog. It isn’t needed anymore.

Next, open Notepad. Click File -> Open -> location your RDP file that was saved in the previous step. You’ll need to change the document type dropdown from Text Documents (.txt) to All Files (*).

Go to the very bottom of the list of parameters and add the following two lines:
enablecredsspsupport:i:0
authentication level:i:2

Save the changes to the .rdp file. Note that your file may have more or fewer lines in it than mine.

Now you are ready to connect! Double click on the RDP file and fill in the dialog box.

For the user name field should be formatted as .AzureADemail@company.com
Pololu port devices driver download. (Technically it only needs to be AzureADemail@company.com but there are some strange caching things that happen when the VM autolocks and you go to sign back in. Adding the dot slash (.) at the beginning will save you some headache of having to add AzureAD to the beginning of your user name each time you try to log in.)

There you have it! It’s a bit of a pain, but now you can RDP into a computer with your Azure AD credentials (aka, email address) to an Azure AD joined computer.

I use a free piece of software called Remote Desktop Manager for all my connections. You can’t make the necessary changes to a connection in there (that I can tell anyway), but you can create the RDP file using the instructions here then import that connection into the tool and it will work perfectly.

If you join a Windows 10 PC to Azure AD and then try and login to that PC over remote desktop you are in for a barrel of laughs! Or not!

The way to get it to work is as follows:

  1. Ensure that Windows 10 PC is running Version 1511 or later (type WinVer from the Run dialog)
  2. Ensure the target PC is enabled for Remote Desktop
  3. Ensure the Network Level Authentication is disabled
  4. Run MSTSC on your PC (the source) and enter the target PN name, your username (email address) and click Save As (which you will find under “Show Options”):
  5. Close the Remote Desktop Connection window without connecting.
  6. Open the saved RDP file in Notepad
  7. Add the following to the bottom of the text in Notepad as shows:

Azure Remote Desktop App For Windows 10

  1. In Notepad this appears as:
  2. Save the RDP file and then double-click it to connect. You will now be able to login with your AzureAD account over Remote Desktop
  3. If you cannot login, check the alternative name that your device uses for your user account. On the AzureAD joined computer, logged in as the target user, run “whoami” from the command line. It will report something like AzureADfirstlast. You could try that value (both AzureAD and the name) as your username.
