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?

        Is your SessionHost marked as available?  You can check using the following PowerShell command:

         

        Get-RdsSessionHost -TenantName "[your_tennat_name]" -HostPoolName "[your_hostpool_name]"

    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
