How to change the RDP port number in ARM templates?

Khalid Abu Theeb 1

After creating a VM on Azure, I need to use a VPN in order to RDP to it. This is because of my Internet Service Provider's networking regulations. Therefore I have to change the RPD port from within the VM every time I create a new VM. Is there a way I can make the default RDP port number 8000 using Azure templates?

People who use multiple computers for their work are very much benefitted by this feature. We can simply say that RDP Port(Remote desktop Port) allows you to access your computer from another computer. To Tweak RDP for security the default RDP Port should be open. The default port for RDP is 3389. The port should be open and marketing it accessible using windows firewall within the Local area Network. If you are thinking of making it accessible through the internet then you will have to take care of security. And It should be done by forwarding through the main internet router to work properly. In this blogpost today we have come up with working methods to allow RDP for remote access.
