Hi,

Could you please clarify more clearly about your requirement?

Would you like to allow more users to concurrently remote connect to the server via RDP?

Or would you like to let the azure windows server get more public IPs? If so, you will create more virtual network adapters for your server.

@NdechiMaro-8042

If you want to allow more user's concurrently via RDP then you must purchase RDS Per User CALs licenses.

Currently in Azure Windows VM's can handle 2 RDP connections concurrently. If you need more RDP licences you required Per User CALs license.

Ex: You need 3 CALs for 3 users to use 3 concurrent RDP sessions.

refer- License your RDS deployment with client access licenses (CALs)

In order to achieve your requirement, you will need to set below configurations.

    Server Manager>Add roles and features>Role-based or feature-based installation>Remote Desktop Services>select both Remote Desktop Licensing and Remote Desktop Session Host roles to install

  2. Activate the Remote Desktop Services license server: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/remote/remote-desktop-services/rds-activate-license-server

  3. Purchase and install RDS CALs: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/remote/remote-desktop-services/rds-install-cals
    Please first read below article to understand RDS CALs, and you can purchase CALs via Microsoft Store or contact Microsoft Volume Licensing Service Center
    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/remote/remote-desktop-services/rds-client-access-license

  4. On the server, configure below group policies:
    Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Licensing
    - Use the specified Remote Desktop license servers —— Enabled & Input the License server
    - Set the Remote Desktop licensing mode —— Enabled & Select Per Device or Per User
