Can Others Connect to my VM
Hi Everyone:
Is there a way to configure one of my VMs so a friend of mine could use RDP and connect to it? Just curious to know this. I was thinking I would create the VM using my account. ...

No problem. Set up a .rdp file using mstsc, save locally, and send. Or connect via the portal and save the .rdp file. Edit the file for your friend's credentials, assuming you have created a local account for him/her. Domain account if your VM belongs to a domain. On the VM, authorize your friend's account for remote access.

Thanks so much Ray. I can't wait to test this with my friend.
