It’s Not Always Azure | Aidan Finn, IT Pro This post explains how I used some old-school knowledge combined with Azure diagnostics tools to figure out a VM RDP issue.

Pop some headphones in, put on a podcast and mow it. Enjoy the sunshine. It's not like you have to do it that often, and you get the satisfaction of a job well done. I know this isn't what you asked for, but sometimes its worth considering when not to automate.
