If you join a Windows 10 PC to Azure AD and then try and login to that PC over remote desktop you are in for a barrel of laughs! Or not!
The way to get it to work is as follows:
Azure Remote Desktop App Download
Azure RemoteApp is supported on the RemoteApp client apps for Windows and Windows RT, as well as the Microsoft Remote Desktop apps for Mac, iOS and Android. Your users can use these apps on their mobile or compute devices to access the new Azure RemoteApp programs. See Accessing your apps in Azure RemoteApp for more information about the clients. Description Use the Microsoft Remote Desktop app to connect to a remote PC or virtual apps and desktops made available by your admin. The app helps you be productive no matter where you are. Getting Started Configure your PC for remote access first.
- Ensure that Windows 10 PC is running Version 1511 or later (type WinVer from the Run dialog)
- Ensure the target PC is enabled for Remote Desktop
- Ensure the Network Level Authentication is disabled
- Run MSTSC on your PC (the source) and enter the target PN name, your username (email address) and click Save As (which you will find under “Show Options”):
- Close the Remote Desktop Connection window without connecting.
- Open the saved RDP file in Notepad
- Add the following to the bottom of the text in Notepad as shows:
enablecredsspsupport:i:0
Azure Remote Desktop App
- In Notepad this appears as:
- Save the RDP file and then double-click it to connect. You will now be able to login with your AzureAD account over Remote Desktop
- If you cannot login, check the alternative name that your device uses for your user account. On the AzureAD joined computer, logged in as the target user, run “whoami” from the command line. It will report something like AzureADfirstlast. You could try that value (both AzureAD and the name) as your username.
