Windows Remote Desktop allows UWSP faculty and staff to connect securely to their assigned UWSP Windows computer from off campus. When you remotely connect to your office computer, its screen displays a locked screen while you continue to work in the background. When you return to your office, unlock your computer screen by pressing the CTRL+ALT+DEL keys and enter your password.
To minimize connectivity issues with establishing a Remote Desktop session, please change your office Windows computer and laptop lid (if applicable) sleep settings to "Never" sleep.
Multifactor Authentication is required for all Remote Desktop connections.
If you need to authenticate using verification codes from your MFA hardware token you will need to install and use the intermediary app, Big-IP Edge Client, to complete the authentication. To always receive Push notifications and complete your MFA authentications from your mobile device, set your default MFA Authentication method to "App-based authentication - notification".
