## Configuring on-premises accounts using PowerShell

### Connect to Exchange Server PowerShell

> It is important that you know the FQDN of the Client Access service of the on-premises Exchange server.

```PowerShell
 $ExchServer = Read-Host "Please Enter the FQDN of your Exchange Server"
  $ExchSession = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri http://$ExchServer/PowerShell/ -Authentication Kerberos -Credential (Get-Credential)
  Import-PSSession $ExchSession
```

### Create the device account

```PowerShell

```PowerShell
Enable-CsMeetingRoom -Identity Contoso\HUB01 -SipAddressType emailaddress -RegistrarPool SfbIEFE01.contoso.local
```

## Mobile Device Mailbox Policy

You may need to create a new Mobile Device Mailbox Policy (also known as ActiveSync Policy) to allow your Surface Hub to connect to your online or on-premises environment.

### Create a Surface Hub mobile device mailbox policy
```PowerShell
New-MobileDeviceMailboxPolicy -Name “Surface Hubs” -PasswordEnabled $false
```

## Additional settings

It is recommended to add a MailTip to Surface Hub rooms so users remember to make the meeting a Skype for Business or Teams meeting:

```PowerShell
Set-Mailbox "Surface Hub 2S" -MailTip "This is a Surface Hub room. Please make sure this is a Microsoft Teams meeting."
```
