## Manually install the UEFI update
Before you can configure the advanced security features of your Surface device, you must first install the v3.11.760.0 UEFI update. This update is installed automatically if you receive your updates from Windows Update. For more information about how to configure Windows to update automatically by using Windows Update, see [How to configure and use Automatic Updates in Windows]( https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkID=618030).

For more information about how to configure Windows to update automatically by using Windows Update, see [How to configure and use Automatic Updates in Windows](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/306525).
To update the UEFI on Surface Pro 3, you can download and install the Surface UEFI updates as part of the Surface Pro 3 Firmware and Driver Pack. These firmware and driver packs are available from the [Surface Pro 3 page](https://www.microsoft.com/download/details.aspx?id=38826) on the Microsoft Download Center. You can find out more about the firmware and driver packs at [Download the latest firmware and drivers for Surface devices](https://technet.microsoft.com/itpro/surface/deploy-the-latest-firmware-and-drivers-for-surface-devices). The firmware and driver packs are available as both self-contained Windows Installer (.msi) and archive (.zip) formats. You can find out more about these two formats and how you can use them to update your drivers at [Manage Surface driver and firmware updates](https://technet.microsoft.com/itpro/surface/manage-surface-pro-3-firmware-updates).

## Updating Surface device drivers and firmware
For devices that receive updates through Windows Update, drivers for Surface components – and even firmware updates – are applied automatically as part of the Windows Update process. For devices with managed updates, such as those updated through Windows Server Update Services (WSUS), the option to install drivers and firmware through Windows Update is not available. For these managed devices, the recommended driver management process is the deployment of driver and firmware updates using the Windows Installer (.msi) files, which are provided through the Microsoft Download Center. You can find a list of these downloads at [Download the latest firmware and drivers for Surface devices](https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/itpro/surface/deploy-the-latest-firmware-and-drivers-for-surface-devices).

As .msi files, deployment of driver and firmware updates is performed in the same manner as deployment of an application. Instead of installing an application as would normally happen when an .msi file is run, the Surface driver and firmware .msi will apply the driver and firmware updates to the device. The single .msi file contains the driver and firmware updates required by each component of the Surface device. The updates for firmware are applied the next time the device reboots. You can read more about the .msi installation method for Surface drivers and firmware in [Manage Surface driver and firmware updates](https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/itpro/surface/manage-surface-pro-3-firmware-updates).

## Use prestaged media with Surface clients
If your organization uses prestaged media to pre-load deployment resources on to machines prior to deployment with Configuration Manager, the nature of Surface devices as UEFI devices may require you to take additional steps. Specifically, a native UEFI environment requires that you create multiple partitions on the boot disk of the system. If you are following along with the [documentation for prestaged media](https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/79465d90-4831-4872-96c2-2062d80f5583?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396#BKMK_CreatePrestagedMedia), the instructions provide for only single partition boot disks and therefore will fail when applied to Surface devices.

@ -61,16 +61,16 @@ Surface devices come preinstalled with a licensed copy of Windows. For example,
When you reimage a device by using Windows Enterprise, this embedded license key does not cause a conflict. This is because the installation media for Windows Enterprise is configured to install only an Enterprise edition of Windows and therefore is incompatible with the license key embedded in the system firmware. If a product key is not specified (such as when you intend to activate with Key Management Services (KMS) or Active Directory Based Activation), a Generic Volume License Key (GVLK) is used until Windows is activated by one of those technologies.
However, issues may arise when organizations intend to use versions of Windows that are compatible with the firmware embedded key. For example, an organization that wants to install Windows 10 Professional on a Surface 3 device that originally shipped with Windows 10 Home edition may encounter difficulty when Windows setup automatically reads the Home edition key during installation and installs as Home edition rather than Professional. To avoid this conflict, you can use the Ei.cfg or Pid.txt file (see [Windows Setup Edition Configuration and Product ID Files](https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh824952.aspx)) to explicitly instruct Windows setup to prompt for a product key, or you can enter a specific product key in the deployment task sequence. If you do not have a specific key, you can use the default product keys for Windows, which you can find in [Customize and deploy a Windows 10 operating system](https://dpcenter.microsoft.com/en/Windows/Build/cp-Windows-10-build) on the Device Partner Center.

## Apply an asset tag during deployment
Surface Book, Surface Pro 4, Surface Pro 3, and Surface 3 devices all support the application of an asset tag in UEFI. This asset tag can be used to identify the device from UEFI even if the operating system fails, and it can also be queried from within the operating system. To read more about the Surface Asset Tag function, see the [Asset Tag Tool for Surface Pro 3](https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/askcore/2014/10/20/asset-tag-tool-for-surface-pro-3/) blog post.
To apply an asset tag using the [Surface Asset Tag CLI Utility](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=44076) during a Configuration Manager deployment task sequence, use the script and instructions found in the [Set Surface Asset Tag During a Configuration Manager Task Sequence](https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/jchalfant/set-surface-pro-3-asset-tag-during-a-configuration-manager-task-sequence/) blog post.

## Configure push-button reset
When you deploy Windows to a Surface device, the push-button reset functionality of Windows is configured by default to revert the system back to a state where the environment is not yet configured. When the reset function is used, the system discards any installed applications and settings. Although in some situations it can be beneficial to restore the system to a state without applications and settings, in a professional environment this effectively renders the system unusable to the end user.
Push-button reset can be configured, however, to restore the system configuration to a state where it is ready for use by the end user. Follow the process outlined in [Deploy push-button reset features](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/hardware/commercialize/manufacture/desktop/deploy-push-button-reset-features) to customize the push-button reset experience for your devices.

#### Microsoft Deployment Toolkit
The Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT) is the primary component of a Windows deployment. It serves as a unified interface for most of the Microsoft deployment tools and technologies, such as the Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (Windows ADK), Windows System Image Manager (Windows SIM), Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM), User State Migration Tool (USMT), and many other tools and technologies. Each of these is discussed throughout this article. The unified interface, called the *Deployment Workbench*, facilitates automation of the deployment process through a series of stored deployment procedures, known as a *task sequence*. Along with these task sequences and the many scripts and tools that MDT provides, the resources for a Windows deployment (driver files, application installation files, and image files) are stored in a network share known as the *deployment share*.
You can download and find out more about MDT at [Microsoft Deployment Toolkit](https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/dn475741).
You can download and find out more about MDT at [Microsoft Deployment Toolkit](https://technet.microsoft.com/windows/dn475741).
#### Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit
Although MDT is the tool you will interact with most during the deployment process, the deployment tools found in the Windows ADK perform most of the deployment tasks during the deployment process. The resources for deployment are held within the MDT deployment share, but it is the collection of tools included in Windows ADK that access the image files, stage drivers and Windows updates, run the deployment experience, provide instructions to Windows Setup, and back up and restore user data.
You can download and find out more about the Windows ADK at [Download the Windows ADK](https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/hardware/windows-assessment-deployment-kit#windowsadk).

Before you can perform a deployment with MDT, you must first supply a set of operating system installation files and an operating system image. These files and image can be found on the physical installation media (DVD) for Windows 10. You can also find these files in the disk image (ISO file) for Windows 10, which you can download from the [Volume Licensing Service Center (VLSC)](https://www.microsoft.com/Licensing/servicecenter/default.aspx).
>**Note:**&nbsp;&nbsp;The installation media generated from the [Get Windows 10](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10/) page differs from physical media or media downloaded from the VLSC, in that it contains an image file in Electronic Software Download (ESD) format rather than in the Windows Imaging (WIM) format. Installation media with an image file in WIM format is required for use with MDT. Installation media from the Get Windows 10 page cannot be used for Windows deployment with MDT.

Installation media with an image file in WIM format is required for use with MDT. Installation media from the Get Windows 10 page cannot be used for Windows deployment with MDT.
#### Windows Server
Although MDT can be installed on a Windows client, to take full advantage of Windows Deployment Services’ ability to network boot, a full Windows Server environment is recommended. To provide network boot for UEFI devices like Surface with WDS, you will need Windows Server 2008 R2 or later.

Because customizations are performed by MDT at the time of deployment, the goal of reference image creation is not to perform customization but to increase performance during deployment by reducing the number of actions that need to occur on each deployed device. The biggest action that can slow down an MDT deployment is the installation of Windows updates. When MDT performs this step during the deployment process, it downloads the updates on each deployed device and installs them. By installing Windows updates in your reference image, the updates are already installed when the image is deployed to the device and the MDT update process only needs to install updates that are new since the image was created or are applicable to products other than Windows (for example, Microsoft Office updates).

#### Surface firmware and drivers
For your deployed Windows environment to function correctly on your Surface devices, you will need to install the drivers used by Windows to communicate with the components of your device. These drivers are available for download in the Microsoft Download Center for each Surface device. You can find the correct Microsoft Download Center page for your device at [Download the latest firmware and drivers for Surface devices](https://technet.microsoft.com/itpro/surface/deploy-the-latest-firmware-and-drivers-for-surface-devices).
When you browse to the specific Microsoft Download Center page for your device, you will notice that there are two files available for download. One file is a Windows Installer (.msi) file. This file is used to update drivers on devices that are already running Windows or that have device management solutions. The other file is an archive (.zip) file. This file contains the individual driver files that are used during deployment, or for manual installation with Device Manager. The file that you will need to download is the .zip archive file. You can read more about the difference between the firmware and driver pack file types at [Manage Surface driver and firmware updates](https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/itpro/surface/manage-surface-pro-3-firmware-updates).

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.

This can make sense in many scenarios where the Ethernet adapter or the additional functionality of the docking station will be used regularly.

Although this solution ensures that firmware will be updated as new releases are made available to Windows Update, it does present potential drawbacks. Each Surface device that receives Windows Updates directly will separately download each update rather than accessing a central location, which increases demand on Internet connectivity and bandwidth. Updates are also provided automatically to devices, without being subjected to testing or review by administrators.

**Windows Installer Package**
The firmware and driver downloads for Surface devices now include Windows Installer files for firmware and driver updates. These Windows Installer packages can be deployed with utilities that support application deployment, including the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT) and System Center Configuration Manager. This solution allows for centralized deployment and for administrators to test and review firmware updates before they are deployed. For more information about the Windows Installer package delivery method for firmware and driver updates, including details on what drivers are updated by the package and why certain drivers and firmware are not updated by the Windows Installer package, see the [Surface Pro 3 MSI Now Available](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=618173) blog post.

For example, you may have Surface Pro 3 devices on which you would like to add the Surface app. To deploy the Surface app in an upgrade scenario use the same process as you would for a traditional deployment. See the [Deploy Surface app with Windows Store for Business](https://technet.microsoft.com/itpro/surface/deploy-surface-app-with-windows-store-for-business) article for instructions on how to add the Surface app to an MDT task sequence.

# Using the Microsoft Surface Deployment Accelerator deployment share
With Microsoft Surface Deployment Accelerator (SDA), you can quickly and easily set up a deployment solution that is ready to deploy Windows to Surface devices. The prepared environment is built on powerful deployment technologies available from Microsoft, such as the [Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT)](https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/dn475741), and is capable of immediately performing a deployment after configuration. See [Step-by-Step: Surface Deployment Accelerator](https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/itpro/surface/step-by-step-surface-deployment-accelerator) for a comprehensive walkthrough of using the SDA wizard to set up a deployment share and perform a deployment.

* With SDA, you prepare a deployment environment built on the industry leading deployment solution of MDT. With MDT you can scale from a relatively basic deployment of a few Surface devices to a solution capable of deploying to thousands of devices including all of the different makes and models in your organization and all of the applications required by each device and user.
This article explores four scenarios where you can use SDA to meet the needs of your organization. See [Deploy Windows 10](https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/itpro/windows/deploy/index) to explore the capabilities of MDT and the Windows deployment technologies available from Microsoft in greater detail.

For example, you are tasked with deploying Surface devices to mobile workers and you want to test the organization’s MDT deployment process by providing a small number of devices to executives. You can use SDA to create an isolated Surface deployment environment and then copy the task sequence, applications, and drivers needed from the production deployment share. This not only enables you to quickly create a Surface deployment, but it also minimizes the risk to the production deployment process used for other types of devices.
For small organizations, the pilot deployment environment of SDA may suffice as a complete deployment solution. Even if you do not have an existing deployment environment, you can import drivers and applications (covered later in this article) to provide a complete deployment solution based on MDT. Even without previous knowledge of MDT or Windows deployment, you can follow the [Step-by-Step: Surface Deployment Accelerator](https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/itpro/surface/step-by-step-surface-deployment-accelerator) article to get started with a deployment to Surface devices.

After the drivers are imported for the Surface model, the deployment task sequence will automatically select the drivers during the deployment process and include them in the Windows environment. When you connect your device, such as the barcode scanner in the example, Windows should automatically detect the device and you should be able to use it immediately.
