Connecting to a remote computer using RDP does not work after I enable MFA

Question

We use microsoft Intune and have set up multiple users and computers with it.
There is sometimes the need of accessing a computer at the office from home, for this we have a dedicated VPN and use a RDP connection.
This works fine with credentials like AzureAD\user@keyman .
Only after I enable MFA for that user the RDP connection is not possible anymore, no question is asked for MFA either.
Logging on to the computer is then only possible when you are sitting behind it phisically.

Hi,

If you want rdp to work with Azure accounts that have mfa enabled you need to create a CA policy and exclude Azure Windows VM Sign-In app from MFA.

But there are also some other ways to have strong authentication with windows logon.

Hope this helps!
