Troubleshooting Tips:

You may get an error that you are unable to RDP to the host. Ensure update your NSG with your current IP address. This may change from day to day. Error snapshot provided below.

To resolve this add a rule to your existing NSG by selecting 'Add Incoming NSG Port Rule' in the sec-lab-win11 Connect section.

A dialog box will open where you can ensure that your current IP is updated.
