Windows Azure VM Remote desktop connection issue

RDP port (3389) is widely blocked from network administrators of most corporations. What you need to do is either of:

• Talking with your network administrator at work and ask for permission to use RDP port to connect to your Azure Virtual Machine
• Configure different public port for the RDP Endpoint. Setting it to 443 (the HTTPS Standard port) or 22 (Standard SSH port) might solve the issue without contacting system administrator

Of course, if you use that VM for Secure Web (which works on 443) you have to chose another port number.

In my case,

After I did "Reset Remote", "Reset VM", Initially the Public and Private Port was different as expected, I changed both Public & Private to "3389" and then Edited the RDP File (which was originally downloaded from Azure) to have my UserID on it, then it worked. (Didn't bother on security as it is for a short session)

I was also facing the same issue. Have followed the Below steps and it got resolved.

1. Changed the both port number to 3389.
2. After changing, Restarted the VM once.
3. On Restart, reset the Password with new credential.
4. Clicked on connect and downloaded the RDP file.
5. Executed the file and provided the User name and Credential.

Hope this helps to resolve the issue
