Notes

• HOW TO RDP INTO A AZURE AD-JOINED VM IN AZURE
• How can I RDP to an Azure AD joined Windows 10 device?

I was able to get this to work on a Windows 11 (version 23H2) Azure-joined device using the steps above, however some options have changed.

In Remmina connection properties:

• Click the Advanced tab
• "Security protocol negotiation" set to "TLS protocol security"
• "Gateway transport type" set to "Auto"
• "TLS Security Level" set to "Default"

This works between Remmina 1.4.41 and 25H2! Thanks!
