Cannot remote desktop into Windows Azure VM [closed]


Can you check that port 3389 is open in your VM? This port is normally used by remote desktop? You can check this from Virtual machine->Endpoint section within new azure preview portal. if there is no port defined, you will have to create new one.


It could be that the port is blocked, Azure VMs default to port 52137, in your endpoint settings alter this to the regular port 3389 - this worked for me.


Freddy, would u please confirm first if your Windows Azure Virtual Machine is running or not and this you can confirm by looking at Preview Portal. I have seen some cases when the VM does not start first time and you would need to restart it first time.

So if VM is not running then please start it from the portal directly or even if it shows "Running" start please restart it again.
