Accessing the Remote Desktop
Once you receive approval, you can access the remote desktop here: Remote Desktop Web Client (msapproxy.net). (We recommend bookmarking this link in your browser)
Alternatively, you can access it by visiting your webmail, clicking on the app menu in the top left corner (the 9 dots in a square shape)
Click "LSE Desktop" or click on "All Apps" at the bottom if you can't see it in the list. You will then be prompted to log in using your LSE email address and password.
Most users will no longer need to use the VPN, as access to services, applications and network shares are available via the Remote Desktop.
However, some staff may still require VPN access, e.g. if you work in a Professional Services Division such as ARD, Finance, HR or Estates. For more information, please see our dedicated VPN page
