Connecting to the Cisco VPN.

Follow these steps if you need to install the VPN software on a user's device. If Cisco Secure Client - AnyConnect VPN is installed, proceed to step 6.

1. Go to https://esa-fw-03.mcesa.k12.mi.us/MPS2FA. If you are using a device that is not connected to the domain, you will need to have HTTPS:// in front of the address; otherwise, you won't be able to connect to the website. 

2. Once at the website, log in with your MPS Microsoft account and two-factor authentication, and select "Download for Windows."
