I am running a trial of Windows Azure and setup a simple Windows Virtual Machine. However, I do not seem to be able to use the Windows Remote Desktop connection to remote into the machine. What am I doing wrong? At first sight it does not seem to like my userID and password. But then I also cannot ping the VM address. I do not want to go through VS or any other tool, I like to do a simple remote desktop connection through the Windows RMD tool.

Can you check that port 3389 is open in your VM? This port is normally used by remote desktop? You can check this from Virtual machine->Endpoint section within new azure preview portal. if there is no port defined, you will have to create new one.
