We believe we found the root cause of this behavior. The fix should be available in the next Windows Admin Center release, currently planned for late February.

      I found i had to use UPN format as the username rather than Domain\username.  The fix mentioned coming in the next release, is it in the 1812 preview?

       

      Also some situations i found removing the domain from the FQDN in the address also fixed the problem on some machines when connecting.

       

      Thanks
