    Hi @Srivastava, Ishu ,

    to allow more than 2 concurrent logins/RDP sessions on an Azure VM running Windows Server you need to setup an Remote Desktop Service environment: Deploy your Remote Desktop environment

    For Windows 10/11 there is a special version available in Azure (to use with the Azure Virtual Desktop / AVD): Windows 10 or Windows 11 Enterprise multi-session remote desktops

    Hello Srivastava, Ishu,

    Thanks for your question

    This can be achieved via Azure Bastion. You can check it out

    The number of connections per instances depends on what actions you're taking when connected to the client VM. Depending on how data intensive the sessions will be you can set-up instance levels as required.

    See: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/management/azure-subscription-service-limits#azure-bastion-limits
