.SYNOPSIS

A script used to RDP to a target Azure Windows VM using Tunneling from Azure Bastion with Azure CLI and PowerShell.

.DESCRIPTION

A script used to RDP to a target Azure Windows VM using Tunneling from Azure Bastion with Azure CLI and PowerShell.
The script will do all of the following:

Remove the breaking change warning messages.
Check if Azure CLI is already installed and, if required, update it to the latest version. If Azure CLI is not installed, install it.
Change the current context to the subscription holding the Azure Bastion host.
Save the Bastion host as a variable and check if it uses the Standard SKU; otherwise, exit the script.
Update the Bastion host to enable native client support, if not already enabled.
Validate if the target VM exists, and if so, find the subscription it belongs to; otherwise, exit the script.
RDP to the target VM using the native client through Azure Bastion.
Remote Desktop File conn.rdp will be removed when the RDP connection is terminated.
