Remote Desktop can’t find the computer [Solved]
To fix this, instead of this name you can use the DNS name configured for your virtual machine.
It’s always better to configure the DNS name for your virtual machine(VM). You can use the same DNS name to connect to the virtual machine using the RDP.
For Example:
The DNS name configured for my virtual machine(VM) is “mynewvm.westus.cloudapp.azure.com”. This is also known as the Fully Qualified Domain Name(FQDN).
Check out Azure virtual machine DNS (FQDN) to configure now.
