==============================================================================================================================================
In short: No, this is not possible. You have to be logged in when you want to change your password. Security measures requiring you to change your password on first login are not working with RDP and have to be disabled on administrative level.
This article will show you how to create and configure a new account which can access the VM using RDP without the need to immediately change the password.

===================================================================================================================================================================================================================================
If you want to increase the security of your Windows VMs while connecting to them via RDP, you might want to use the method described in this article. It involves connecting to your Windows VM not directly through RDP, but through another virtual machine running Linux known as the “bastion host”. In this case, the RDP connection gets tunneled through SSH and is not directly visible to others.
This method is especially useful if you fear that your RDP connection might be compromised or if using RDP without additional security measures is illegal. It also allows you to use a single floating IP address to connect to multiple Windows VMs.
