无法访问Azure云服务上的远程桌面

Question

I have a newly created Azure Cloud Service. A sample project has been deployed and everything is working fine.

I now need remote desktop access to the service. After enabling Remote Desktop connections through the Azure Portal, downloading and running the generated .rdp file in windows I get the error:

An authentication has occured (Code: 0x80004005)

From windows Remote Desktop.

Signing information has been checked and double checked, same result on multiple computers.

So, steps taken:

• Created Cloud service with roles
• Enabled Remote Desktop through the Azure portal
• Downloaded and run .rdp file

Has anyone else experienced this and/or have any solutions?

Answer 1

So I found the solution.

When enabling remote desktop in the Azure portal, I had chosen a username that was not my email.

If I use my Azure account email as username, everything works perfectly.

After testing, in fact any email will do.
