Hi @박준규,

Thanks for contacting Microsoft Q&A platform. To log in to a Virtual Machine (VM) created from an Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) host pool using the Azure portal account, you need to use Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). Here are the general steps to log in to a VM: • Open the Azure portal. • Navigate to the specific AVD host pool that contains the VM you want to log in to. • In the Azure portal, go to the "Virtual machines" section within the AVD host pool. • Select the specific VM you want to access. • In the VM details, locate the public IP address or DNS name assigned to the VM. This information is usually available on the VM's overview page. • On your local machine, open the Remote Desktop Connection application. You can do this by searching for "Remote Desktop Connection" in the Start menu. • In the Remote Desktop Connection window, enter the public IP address or DNS name of the VM in the "Computer" field. • Click on the "Show Options" button to reveal additional settings. • Under the "User account" section, enter the credentials associated with the VM. This typically includes the username and password or other authentication details set up during VM creation. • Click the "Connect" button to initiate the remote desktop connection to the VM. • If prompted, verify your identity by entering the necessary credentials. This step depends on the authentication method configured for the VM. • Once the connection is established, you should see the desktop of the VM in a new window. You are now logged in to the VM. Hope this helps you.
