Manage settings with an MDM provider (Surface Hub)	Microsoft Surface Hub provides an enterprise management solution to help IT administrators manage policies and business applications on these devices using a mobile device management (MDM) solution.	18EB8464-6E22-479D-B0C3-21C4ADD168FE	mobile device management, MDM, manage policies	w10	manage	library	surfacehub, mobility	jdeckerMS	medium

Manage settings with an MDM provider (Surface Hub)

Surface Hub and other Windows 10 devices allow IT administrators to manage settings and policies using a mobile device management (MDM) provider. A built-in management component communicates with the management server, so there is no need to install additional clients on the device. For more information, see Windows 10 mobile device management.

Surface Hub has been validated with Microsoft’s first-party MDM providers:

• On-premises MDM with System Center Configuration Manager (beginning in version 1602)
• Hybrid MDM with System Center Configuration Manager and Microsoft Intune
• Microsoft Intune standalone

You can also manage Surface Hubs using any third-party MDM provider that can communicate with Windows 10 using the MDM protocol.

Enroll a Surface Hub into MDM

You can enroll your Surface Hubs using bulk or manual enrollment.

Note

You can join your Surface Hub to Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) to manage admin groups on the device. However, Surface Hub does not currently support automatic enrollment to Microsoft Intune through Azure AD join. If your organization automatically enrolls Azure AD-joined devices into Intune, you must disable this policy for Surface Hub before joining the device to Azure AD.

To enable automatic enrollment for Microsoft Intune

1. In the Azure classic portal, navigate to the Active Directory node and select your directory.
2. Click the Applications tab, then click Microsoft Intune.
3. Under Manage devices for these users, click Groups.
4. Click Select Groups, then select the groups of users you want to automatically enroll into Intune. Do not include accounts that are used to enroll Surface Hubs into Intune.
5. Click the checkmark button, then click Save.

Bulk enrollment

To configure bulk enrollment

• Surface Hub supports the Provisioning CSP for bulk enrollment into MDM. For more information, see Windows 10 bulk enrollment.
  --OR--
• If you have an on-premises System Center Configuration Manager infrastructure, see How to bulk enroll devices with On-premises Mobile Device Management in System Center Configuration Manager.

Manual enrollment

To configure manual enrollment

1. On your Surface Hub, open Settings.
2. Type the device admin credentials when prompted.
3. Select This device, and navigate to Device management.
4. Under Device management, select + Device management.
5. Follow the instructions in the dialog to connect to your MDM provider.

Manage Surface Hub settings with MDM

You can use MDM to manage some Surface Hub CSP settings, and some Windows 10 settings. Depending on the MDM provider that you use, you may set these settings using a built-in user interface, or by deploying custom SyncML. Microsoft Intune and System Center Configuration Manager provide built-in experiences to help create policy templates for Surface Hub. Refer to documentation from your MDM provider to learn how to create and deploy SyncML.

Supported Surface Hub CSP settings

You can configure the Surface Hub settings in the following table using MDM. The table identifies if the setting is supported with Microsoft Intune, System Center Configuration Manager, or SyncML.

For more information, see SurfaceHub configuration service provider.

Generate OMA URIs for settings

You need to use a setting’s OMA URI to create a custom policy in Intune, or a custom setting in System Center Configuration Manager.

To generate the OMA URI for any setting in the CSP documentation

1. In the CSP documentation, identify the root node of the CSP. Generally, this looks like ./Vendor/MSFT/<name of CSP>
   For example, the root node of the SurfaceHub CSP is ./Vendor/MSFT/SurfaceHub.
2. Identify the node path for the setting you want to use.
   For example, the node path for the setting to enable wireless projection is InBoxApps/WirelessProjection/Enabled.
3. Append the node path to the root node to generate the OMA URI.
   For example, the OMA URI for the setting to enable wireless projection is ./Vendor/MSFT/SurfaceHub/InBoxApps/WirelessProjection/Enabled.

The data type is also stated in the CSP documentation. The most common data types are:

• char (String)
• int (Integer)
• bool (Boolean)

## Example: Manage Surface Hub settings with Microsoft Intune

You can use Microsoft Intune to manage Surface Hub settings.

To create a configuration policy from a template

You'll use the Windows 10 Team general configuration policy as the template.

1. On the Intune management portal, sign in with your Intune administrator account.

2. On the left-hand navigation menu, click Policy.

3. In the Overview page, click Add Policy.

4. On Select a template for the new policy, expand Windows, select General Configuration (Windows 10 Team and later), and then click Create Policy.

   

5. Configure your policy, then click Save Policy

   

6. When prompted, click Yes to deploy your new policy to a user or device group. For more information, see Use groups to manage users and devices in Microsoft Intune.

To create a custom configuration policy

You’ll need to create a custom policy using the Custom Configuration (Windows 10 Desktop and Mobile and later) template to manage settings that are not available in the Windows 10 Team general configuration policy template.

1. On the Intune management portal, sign in with your Intune administrator account.

2. On the left-hand navigation menu, click Policy.

3. On the Overview page, click Add Policy.

4. On Select a template for the new policy, expand Windows, select Custom Configuration (Windows 10 Desktop and Mobile and later), and then click Create Policy.

5. Type a name and optional description for the policy.

6. Under OMA-URI Settings, click Add.

7. Complete the form to create a new setting, and then click OK.

   

8. Repeat Steps 6 and 7 for each setting you want to configure with this policy.

9. After you're done, click Save Policy and deploy it to a user or device group.

## Example: Manage Surface Hub settings with System Center Configuration Manager System Center Configuration Manager supports managing modern devices that do not require the Configuration Manager client to manage them, including Surface Hub. If you already use System Center Configuration Manager to manage other devices in your organization, you can continue to use the Configuration Manager console as your single location for managing Surface Hubs.

Note

These instructions are based on the current branch of System Center Configuration Manager.

To create a configuration item for Surface Hub settings

1. On the Assets and Compliance workspace of the Configuration Manager console, click Overview > Compliance Settings > Configuration Items.

2. On the Home tab, in the Create group, click Create Configuration Item.

3. On the General page of the Create Configuration Item Wizard, specify a name and optional description for the configuration item.

4. Under Settings for devices managed without the Configuration Manager client, select Windows 8.1 and Windows 10, and then click Next.

   

5. On the Supported Platforms page, expand Windows 10 and select All Windows 10 Team and higher. Unselect the other Windows platforms, and then click Next.

   

6. On the Device Settings page, under Device settings groups, select Windows 10 Team.

7. On the Windows 10 Team page, configure the settings you require.

   

8. You'll need to create custom settings to manage settings that are not available in the Windows 10 Team page. On the Device Settings page, select the check box Configure additional settings that are not in the default setting groups.

   

9. On the Additional Settings page, click Add.

10. In the Browse Settings dialog, click Create Setting.

11. In the Create Setting dialog, under the General tab, specify a name and optional description for the custom setting.

12. Under Setting type, select OMA URI.

13. Complete the form to create a new setting, and then click OK.

    

14. On the Browse Settings dialog, under Available settings, select the new setting you created, and then click Select.

15. On the Create Rule dialog, complete the form to specify a rule for the setting, and then click OK.

16. Repeat steps 9 to 15 for each custom setting you want to add to the configuration item.

17. When you're done, on the Browse Settings dialog, click Close.

18. Complete the wizard.
    You can view the new configuration item in the Configuration Items node of the Assets and Compliance workspace.
