To provide connectivity for users, you can use Remote Desktop Services (RDS) to access applications and desktops from the cloud. Azure Active Directory Domain Services (Azure AD DS) can authenticate users as they request access to the RDS environment. For enhanced security, you can integrate Azure Multi-Factor Authentication to provide an additional authentication prompt during sign-in events. Azure Multi-Factor Authentication uses an extension for the Network Policy Server (NPS) to provide this feature.

To secure remote access to virtual machines (VMs) that run in an Azure Active Directory Domain Services (Azure AD DS) managed domain, you can use Remote Desktop Services (RDS) and Network Policy Server (NPS). Azure AD DS authenticates users as they request access through the RDS environment.

Azure Multi-Factor Authentication uses an extension for NPS to provide this feature.

> The recommended way to securely connect to your VMs in an Azure AD DS managed domain is using Azure Bastion, a fully platform-managed PaaS service that you provision inside your virtual network. A bastion host provides secure and seamless Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) connectivity to your VMs directly in the Azure portal over SSL. When you connect via a bastion host, your VMs don't need a public IP address, and you don't need to use network security groups to expose access to RDP on TCP port 3389.
