Remote access to SIMS, RDP and 2FA

[petben]

Hello, we currently use Remote Desktop and a RemoteApp to (amongst other things) allow staff access to SIMS from home. We are now looking at Office365 2FA and with this the RDP access needs to be behind the 2FA somehow.

 

Does anyone do this? Citrix has apparently replaced RDP in Azure.

 

Any advise would be great.

 

Thanks

We're using the Azure MFA ad-in/plugin for Remote Desktop. Its good to have one system which protects both Office 365 & Remote Desktop. Be warned however that remote desktop needs a 'Active' MFA method. Meaning staff need to pick 'Phone Call' or 'Approval by Authenticator App'. A lot of staff like to pick the first option which is 'Code by SMS' which you can't use.
