Setting Azure Web Role to have RDP when deployed from TFS


Is it possible to setup an Azure Web Role that is deployed from the hosted TFS that has RDP configured? I know I can do it if I manually publish a role but is it possible to do it when you are automatically deploying from TFS?


Solution

  • yes - the RDP settings are saved in the deployment ServiceConfiguration.cscfg file. Make sure you have created a cert, uploaded the cert to your web role and at least once created the the "publish" settings, which will create the required values in the config file.
