Hi,

I am new to Azure and in desperate need of assistance. I have created a VM - Windows 365 Apps + Multisession
OS is Windows 10 Enterprise. At the moment it only supports 2 RDP connections. Can you please tell me all steps I need to follow to create more or allow more? Do I need something from Market Place again or what do I do?

Thanks in advance!

    Window Server by default only allows 2 concurrent RDP sessions. If you need more than 2 RDP connections, there are ways to do this but you have to abide by a licensing model. Typically Client Access Licenses (CALs) are used, or for an RDS environment, Windows Virtual Desktop is a good product to use.

    For full instructions, your best bet is to ask this question on an OS specific forum, or using the windows-server-2016 tag.
