The primary concern when selecting an Ethernet adapter is how that adapter will boot your Surface device from the network. If you are pre-staging clients with Windows Deployment Services (WDS) or if you are using System Center Configuration Manager, you may also want to consider whether the removable Ethernet adapters will be dedicated to a specific Surface device or shared among multiple devices. See the [Manage MAC addresses with removable Ethernet adapters](#manage-mac-addresses) section of this article for more information on potential conflicts with shared adapters.
Booting from the network (PXE boot) is only supported when you use an Ethernet adapter or docking station from Microsoft. To boot from the network, the chipset in the Ethernet adapter or dock must be detected and configured as a boot device in the firmware of the Surface device. Microsoft Ethernet adapters, such as the Surface Ethernet Adapter and the [Surface Dock](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=722364) use a chipset that is compatible with the Surface firmware.

The simplest solution to avoid MAC address conflicts is to provide a dedicated removable Ethernet adapter for each Surface device. This can make sense in many scenarios where the Ethernet adapter or the additional functionality of the docking station will be used regularly. However, not all scenarios call for the additional connectivity of a docking station or support for wired networks.
Another potential solution to avoid conflict when adapters are shared is to use the [Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT)](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=618117) to perform deployment to Surface devices. MDT does not use the MAC address to identify individual computers and thus is not subject to this limitation. However, MDT does use Windows Deployment Services to provide PXE boot functionality, and is subject to the limitations regarding pre-staged clients which is covered later in this section.

When you use a shared adapter for deployment, the solution for affected deployment technologies is to use another means to identify unique systems. For Configuration Manager and WDS, both of which can be affected by this issue, the solution is to use the System Universal Unique Identifier (System UUID) that is embedded in the computer firmware by the computer manufacturer. For Surface devices, you can see this entry in the computer firmware under **Device Information**.

When deploying with WDS, the MAC address is only used to identify a computer when the deployment server is configured to respond only to known, pre-staged clients. When pre-staging a client, an administrator creates a computer account in Active Directory and defines that computer by the MAC address or the System UUID. To avoid the identity conflicts caused by shared Ethernet adapters, you should use [System UUID to define pre-staged clients](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=618118). Alternatively, you can configure WDS to respond to unknown clients that do not require definition by either MAC address or System UUID by selecting the **Respond to all client computers (known and unknown)** option on the [**PXE Response** tab](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=618119) in **Windows Deployment Server Properties**.

The potential for conflicts with shared Ethernet adapters is much higher with Configuration Manager. Where WDS only uses MAC addresses to define individual systems when configured to do so, Configuration Manager uses the MAC address to define individual systems whenever performing a deployment to new or unknown computers. This can result in improperly configured devices or even the inability to deploy more than one system with a shared Ethernet adapter. There are several potential solutions for this situation that are described in detail in the [How to Use The Same External Ethernet Adapter For Multiple SCCM OSD](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=618120) blog post on the Ask Premier Field Engineering (PFE) Platforms TechNet blog.
