I have a VM in Azure running SuSE Linux (openSUSE). I have no problem connecting with SSH. However I am unable to connect using RDP. I've used the endpoint port # in the connection dialog with the form DNS.name:port. I've restarted the VM, deleted the endpoint and recreated it, resized the VM, deleted the VM and recreated it using the same VHD. All of these steps are suggested in an article on troubleshooting RDP connections. None of these steps has fixed the problem. I used psping (from sysinternals) to hit the VM and get.

Sent = 4, Received = 0, Lost = 4 (100% loss),
Minimum = 0.00ms, Maximum = 0.00ms, Average = 0.00ms
So the connection is actively refused by the Linux VM.
I'm at a loss here. I've tried searching the net for how to enable remote access in SuSE linux and haven't found anything that addresses the issue.
Thanks, Mike
