It allows you to access machines your administrators have given you access to but doesn't allow you (a Dev or Prosumer) to connect to arbitrary machine. NOTE: Oddly there is another app called the Windows Desktop Client that does some of these things, but not others.

It's beyond time for a refresh of these apps. More over, so should the Microsoft Store Remote Desktop client. Given that the client is smart enough to show an error from the remote machine that it's Azure AD enabled, IMHO this should Just Work. Then enablecredsspsupport along with authentication level 2 (settings that aren't exposed in the UI) was the final missing piece.Īdd those two lines to the RDP text file and then open it with Remote Desktop Connection and you're set! Again, make sure you have the email prefix.

\AzureAD\ is needed - that was the magic in front of my email for login. Note that you have to use the style leading. Turns out for whatever reason, you need to save the RDP file and open it in a text editor.Īdd these two lines at the end (three if you want to save your username, then include the first line there) level:i:2 So, back to the old Remote Desktop Connection app. I don't see if it's even possible with the Windows Store app. The Windows Store version is nicer looking and more modern, but I can't figure out how to get it to Remote into an Azure Active Directory (AzureAD) joined computer.

There is a Windows Store Remote Desktop app at and even a Remote Desktop Assistant at that can help set up older machines (earlier than Windows 10 version 1709 (I had no idea this existed!) IMHO, the Remote Desktop Connection app is woefully old and kinda Windows XP-like in its style.

I wrote recently about to How to remote desktop fullscreen RDP with just SOME of your multiple monitors which is super useful if you have, say, 3 monitors, and you only want to use 2 and 3 for Remote Desktop and reserve #1 for your local machine, email, etc. More this week than in the previous decade. Since everyone started working remotely, I've personally needed to Remote Desktop into more computers lately than ever before.
