Issues RDP’ing to an Azure Intune Managed machine.

July 4, 2023 noahhubmail Comments Off

I ran into this issue recently when receiving an upgrade from my employer to which they rolled out connected to Azure and configured with Intune. I then realized the problem that I was not able to authenticate correctly when trying to remote to the device from my home setup. With the old device I would use my 4-5 monitors and remote into the laptop so that 1.) I can use all displays, and 2.) I dont have to worry about a dock or any cable switching. 

This annoyed me. 

I found answers that did not work or that was telling me to use the new RDP app on the MS store. 

Nice, but didnt allow me to use multiple monitors.

So back to legacy…

Answer/Solution:

  1. Create and save and RDP connection file on your desktop to the correct host
  2. Right click, edit/open with ‘Notepad’
  3. Add the following lines to the bottom:

    enablecredsspsupport:i:0
    authentication level:i:2

  4. CTRL + S or File > Save
  5. Close the notepad, then click to launch the RDP connection shortcut

Thats it!
