I need the following requirement for Virtual Machin RDP login
- Must be able to use Azure AD to authenticate to Azure VM
- Must be able for internal users with same domain to authenticate
- Must be able to invite external users with different domains (guests) to authenticate
- Must be able to complete MFA/2FA for all users to login to VMs
Is this possible to accomplish if it is please advice. Thanks!

The NPS extension would be a good solution for your requirement. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/authentication/howto-mfa-nps-extension-rdg
All of the MFA is done through Azure MFA when the users connect through remote desktop.
Guest users would not be able to RDP in the setup you described because they would need to at least be added to the local machine.
