    Hi @mohanaadhi · Thank you for reaching out.

    It is possible to require MFA for server login via RDP. You need to use Remote Desktop Gateway and NPS extension for this purpose.

    For step by step instructions, please refer to Integrate your Remote Desktop Gateway infrastructure using the Network Policy Server (NPS) extension and Azure AD.

    Make sure the MFA method should be configured for phone call or authenticator app notification as in case of Remote Desktop Connection, there is no option to enter the OTP. So, you can't use SMS or application code in this case.
