Cannot RDP to one, of two, VMs on Azure

I have two VMs configured on Azure. One I can RDP to, no problems at all, the other I get a message stating: "The Mac cannot connect to the Windows-based computer…" - this is on my iMac - but I also cannot RDP into that VM from a Vista system and a Windows Server 2008.

The only difference between the two VMs is that the one I CAN connect to has an "RDP Certificate Thumbprint" and the other does not.

The one with no certificate - was working fine a couple of weeks ago. No changes were made. Endpoints are good. I've rebooted, restarted, and nothing makes a difference.

I'm assuming it has something to do with not having that RDP Certificate Thumbprint - but I've never created, downloaded, uploaded a certificate in the first place so I'm not sure.

Any thoughts?

Thanks for any help! Rob

All you need to do is configure Remote Desktop for that Role before you publish the package. While you do that, choose "Automatic" for the certificate. Here are a few screenshots that might be helpful for you.Here is the option of configuring Remote Desktop of all roles.

This is what RDP configuration looks like. Choose Automatic as shown in the figure.
