I created a windows azure VM with Windows server 2008 R2. The status of the server is running. The port is open. But I cannot RDP to it. It gives me an error

Answer 1

I had the same issue. I did the following to resolve it:

• Login via serial console (instructions below).
• At the command prompt, within the guest vm: ipconfig /renew
• Log in into serial, type cmd and enter
• Type ch -si 1 and then enter.
• Log in using the domain admin account or local admin account
• Enter ipconfig /release
