Windows Azure VM RDP issue
I followed this
I created a virtual machine using the imaging center they created and the status shows it starting up. I am trying to RDP It says
Remote Desktop cannot connect to the remote computer for one of the following reasons: 1) Remote access to the server is not enabled 2) The remote computer is turned off 3) The remote computer is not available on the network.
make sure the remote computer is turned on and connected to the network and that this remote access is enabled.
I checked the endpoints, open public port, and also open private port 3389. I tried with another release with the latest patch, and the second with the second latest OS patch, but I am still not capable of RDP.
thank

Make sure your virtual machine has reached the "Starting" state. If it's still in one of its pre-launch statuses (like Provisioning), you won't be able to use RDP.
Also: make sure you are not trying to login with "Administrator" (default in rdp login box). Select localhost \ yourusername.

I had a similar problem the other day. It was solved by going to the Azure Portal, selecting the VM dashboard, then clicking Connect in the gray toolbar at the bottom. This will download an RDP file containing the correct connection settings. Then you can send that rdp file to others you want to share.
I just opened one of the files used to connect and it looks like the only real difference is the port used.
full address:s:[vm name].cloudapp.net:62808
username:s:Administrator
prompt for credentials:i:1
I'm not sure if all Azure VMs use 62808, but the default RDP port is 3389, so simply copying DNS from Dashboard to RDP address will NOT work without adding the correct port.

Another thing people should check when the connection issue is the length of the password.
I thought everything would be safe using the password guide. RDP worked fine at home (on an older XP RDP client), but not from the office. At first I thought it was a firewall issue. After checking with the IT guys that I had full outbound access, I got a little closer to the RDP error message.
It was said that my credentials were denied. Finally, I created a second account in the virtual machine and gave it RDP access. I was able to log in. The only difference between the two users was this time when I didn't bother with the long password.
So, I shortened the password on my main account and got there with no problem. I'm not sure what the limit is, but it seems to be less than 32.
