I've setup an Azure virtual machine using Ubuntu 16.04LTS but I'm struggling to get remote desktop to work for it.

I've setup the endpoint as follows:

I've also setup and started xrdp as well as installed xfce4. For reference, here's my command history since creating the VM:

Update Packages and Install xfce4

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install xfce4

Install xrdp

sudo apt-get install xrdp

sudo /etc/init.d/xrdp start

Create new user and add to sudo group

sudo adduser rdpuser

sudo adduser rdpuser sudo

Even after having done this I can still only SSH to my Virtual Machine. The RDP client is timing out with the following:

What am I missing?

You have your source port locked at 3389. This should be set to *, as it represents traffic origination port.

Your other settings look fine.
