@navba-MSFT I am getting the same error when I attempt to connect to RDP through Bastion command line. I don’t see conn.rdp anywhere to delete. What else can I try?

Edit: Disregard this - I realized that within command prompt, I was in the directory that contained the “az” file and because i don’t have permissions to write in there, it wasn’t able to create the conn.rdp file. Once i changed to my local directory i was able to run the command. Different issue now but at least it got me past this.

@FalkoWienBBT I wasn’t able to reproduce this issue at my end. Could you please delete the existing conn.rdp file and then launch the cmd prompt using Admin mode ( Run As Administrator) and then navigate to the folder where you need the conn.rdp file to be created and then run the below command again.

az network bastion rdp --name MyBastionHost --resource-group MyResourceGroup --target-resource-id vmResourceId

Awaiting your reply.
