Connect to a VM using Remote Desktop Protocol on a Chromebook
Important
Azure Lab Services will be retired on June 28, 2027. For more information, see the retirement guide.
In this article, you learn how to connect to a lab virtual machine (VM) in Azure Lab Services from a Chromebook by using Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP).
Install Microsoft Remote Desktop on a Chromebook
To connect to the lab VM by using RDP, use the Microsoft Remote Desktop app.
To install the Microsoft Remote Desktop app:
In the Google Play store, open the Microsoft Remote Desktop page, or search for Microsoft Remote Desktop.
Verify that the app is available for your device.
Select Install to install the app. If prompted, select the device on which to install the app.
Access the VM from your Chromebook using RDP
Connect to the lab VM by using the remote desktop application. You can retrieve the connection information for the lab VM from the Azure Lab Services website.
Navigate to the Azure Lab Services website, and sign in with your credentials.
On the tile for your VM, ensure the VM is running and select the Connect icon.
When you connect to a Linux VM, you see two options to connect to the VM: SSH and RDP. Select the Connect via RDP option. If you're connecting to a Windows VM, you don't need to choose a connection option. The RDP file downloads.
Open the RDP file on your computer with Microsoft Remote Desktop installed. It should start connecting to the VM.
When prompted, enter your user name and password.
If you receive a certificate warning, you can select Continue.
After the connection is established, you see the desktop of your lab VM.
Note
The Microsoft Remote Desktop app is the recommended client for connecting to Azure Lab Services VMs. While you can connect to a lab VM from a Chromebook using RDP clients like Chrome Remote Desktop, third-party apps often need software installation and configuration on the VM. Coordinate with your lab administrator to confirm third-party app usage is permitted.
