We need to remotely connect to a Windows VM that is strictly Azure AD/Entra ID joined.
When we look in Users in Computer Management it’s blank.
To enable a Remote Desktop connection:
- Enable Remote Desktop in Windows
- On the Remote PC start MSTSC.Exe
- Enter _just_ the PC Name
- Enter: AzureAD\YourName@EntraIDDomain.Com
- Example: AzureAD\PhilipElder@MPECSInc.Solutions
- Tick: Use a web account to sign in to the remote computer
- Save the Shortcut
Once the remote user double clicks on the .RDP file they will get:
Azure AD/Entra ID Credentials Prompt
Once the user’s password and MFA approval have happened they will be greeted with the remote operating system’s desktop.
