Introduction
I was struggling with a specific issue on one of our Azure VM's which runs remote desktop. The problem was that users started to get 'access denied' messages after entering their credentials into their rdp client. I did all the usual checks that the users and the computer were in the correct groups and there were available licenses and these all checked out ok. There we also other issues after I managed to logon to the server; unc paths didn't work as well as other types of domain connectivity.
I ventured online to see what I could find...
There seemed quite a lot of this type of thing but none of the fixes I tried worked for me. Though in one post there seemed a random comment about multiple network cards, that got my attention. Some of our VM's are set to deallocate overnight to save money but when they come online the next day the network connection will say something like 'Local area connection 97'. I checked a number of our other servers that deallocate and they all have domain connectivity issues f some sort and have LAN connections numbered >97 some as high as 178!
I followed the link from the post above and ran a 'fix it'. This took a while and required a reboot. After the reboot the server was fine and the network connection was now called 'Local area connection'.
I ran the fixit on all the machines with issues and they are now all performing normally.
Hope this helps anyone in the same situation.

I ran the fixit on this page : https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/269155
Conclusion
As we aren't changing our policy of deallocating servers overnight these machines will break again. Need to get this in front of Microsoft to release a patch or similar.
