Azure VM multi session

Question

Hello,

I have a question concerning Azure VM's. It is me and one other person trying to access the same VM. I wanted to know if there is a way that we can both be logged into the VM at the same time, but have separate desktops. Any help would be greatly appreciated. One thing I did already try was creating a separate user, and having one person use that one while I used the other one however, it says it will log the person already on it out of the computer.

-Thanks!

For windows desktop OS, like windows 11 to enable multi user session windows environments, I suggest looking at Azure Virtual Desktop.

For Windows Server OS, you can set up configuration to achieve this. See https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/21426/multiple-concurrent-rdp-sessions-on-azure-windows
