Windows Virtual Desktop - Your computer can't connect to Remote Desktop Gateway server

I have successfully deployed WVD to my MSDN tenant following the steps 1 and 2 in https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/azure/virtual-desktop/tenant-setup-azure-active-directory and https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/azure/virtual-desktop/create-host-pools-azure-marketplace - I stopped during Step 2 at the optional components.  

 

I have deployed a Windows 10 Multi User desktop and when I login with the user that I gave access to during the setup I see the Icon for my "Session desktop" but when I try to launch I get the following error message.  "Your computer can't connect to Remote Desktop Gateway server.  Contact your network administrator for assistance."

    I think I may have worked out my problem, I have been testing with a user account I setup in Azure AD.  I have only just setup the tenant and AD domain to test WVD.  I have just tested with an account I had created on the AD Server (Still in Azure but with AD Connect installed to sync to AAD) and this has worked fine.  I have also created another AAD account and tried to connect to the desktop but this failed with the same error.

     

    Interestingly I am getting prompted to enter my credentials again upon connection, not sure if I have missed something with the SSO settings?

    I'm now seeing this same issue with a test account I created in Azure AD. We have Azure AD Domain Services set-up, and I am able to log-in from my own account. One of our employees is also able to log-in fine, but the test account I created is not.

     

    The test account has been added to the app group, and I'm able to log-in with that test user to the "Remote Desktop" application for Windows. But every time I try to connect, I keep getting the "Your computer can't connect to the Remote Desktop Gateway server" message. 

     

    Here's the detailed output:

      GuyPaddock Did you get anywhere with this? I have setup a host pool and when i try to connect to the remote desktop i see "opening remote port" then "We couldn't connect to the gateway because of an error. If this keeps happening, ask your admin or tech support for help."

       

      I see the same error as you did

        whitelines I have the same issue. A user account source from on-premises AD synchronised to Azure AD can not connect. The account can login to the VM locally. But if we try via the Web Client the "Open connection" fails. This is a sample error:

        what I see in the detailed logs is that the users SID is not the same as expected.

        So the question then becomes: What could be causing this? We have a local AD that is synchronizing to Azure AD. And we also have Azure AD Domain Services.... Anyone have any ideas?

        hi, ray077

         

         You mentioned that WVD is not supported Proxy configurations yet.

        Do you have any information about now? Is there any improvement ?

        I have a customer who are going to  start WVD PoC next month.
