Can you update an Azure VM (Windows Server) without an RDP connection?
I am unable to remote into my Azure virtual machine. It displays the error
"Azure vm an authentication error has occured. The function requested is not supported
This could be due to CredSSP encryption oracle remediation. For more information, see https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=866660"
Microsoft states that the solution is make sure the server has all updates. However, I can't seem to update the server without an RDP connection.
Is there a way to install updates on the server via the azure portal or azure cli?
Azure virtual machines have a relatively new feature (as of writing) for managing updates from the Azure portal.
These links walk through the process: http://www.rebeladmin.com/2017/10/update-management-azure-vm/ https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/managing-updates-for-your-azure-vm/
Shortly,
1. You go to 'Update Management' in vm's operations menu.
2. Wait ~15 minutes for it to identify updates.
3. Click 'Schedule update deployment' and set your preferences
