You will need to install the Microsoft Authenticator app on your mobile device to access the Parliamentary Computing Network (PCN) remotely. The Microsoft Authenticator app can be installed on either a DPS-issued or personal mobile device.
The APH Desktop is best accessed through the Windows Remote Desktop client. DPS recommends installing the client on your device as it provides a superior user experience. The links below provide further information on downloading and installing the Windows Remote Desktop client on your device.
Once installed, you can access the APH Desktop by launching the Windows Virtual Desktop client on your device and entering your @aph.gov.au email address or the URL https://rdweb.wvd.microsoft.com/api/arm/feeddiscovery.
The Microsoft Remote Desktop application can be installed from the Software Center on any Windows 10 DPS desktop computer or laptop.
If you are experiencing issues installing the Windows Remote Desktop client or logging into the APH Desktop, please contact the 2020 Service Desk for assistance.
