Since in our scenario we do not have the supported OS version and the Teams App Present on the Surface Hub we need to follow the below procedure as per this documentation.

We need to run the CreateSRSmedia. In the next screen it asks for the drivers that is required for this installation. I have chosen none in our case since we can download the Surface Pro drivers according to our version from here and place them on the USB flash drive after the media is created at the end of this process. Post that it will ask us to provide the flash drive. Make sure the flash drive is minimum 16 GB and hooked in during this stage.

Once after this is completed the required installation media for the Teams Room System is successfully created. Turn off the Device Keep holding the Power button plus Volume down button.

Once the Windows Icon Loads just release the power button and the keep holding the Volume down button until you see this screen. The installation process did not take that much long time more than 15 minutes in my case and we are almost to the final stage of the installation process. If you select the region we will reach this stage and this is the Teams Room App that is installed successfully as expected. Over here just click on exit because one important step is to make sure we are connected in the internet for successful Azure AD join operation to be completed.

The Administrator default password is sfb with which we can login. We can reset this password after first login. With this we can ensure the device is connected to the internet. There is a whole process to get this automated via XML deployment for more number of devices in a large scale environments.

Since its for personal device we are doing this manually over here. So over here for the xml deployment we are mentioning only the Teams, Exchange Online Account details , Device settings and Few meeting options and placing the xml file in the below location. This location is unique for all Teams Room devices.

This is the place from where the Teams app picks up the configuration after the next time it reboots and deletes the xml file. There are multiple options to manage this device. The easier step is to create the Provisioning package by following this Link. There are more number of options to enable settings over here but in our example we are just changing the device name, Enrolling them on Azure AD and finally creating one local Admin account.

So in the account management just select Enroll in Azure AD, fetch the bulk token and at this point of writing this blog bulk token retrieval can be only from a Global Admin account.

And more importantly we have to handle with care on these bulk tokens and anyone with this token they would be able to join the device to our tenant. So when we switch to advanced editor, we could see there are lots of option to customize based on our requirement which will definitely help based on the bulk deployment scenarios. After we click on finish and can see the files that have been created as a part of the above task.

We need to copy only the file that is in. Once the ppkg file is created just plug the USB in the Surface Pro , Make sure that you are connected to the internet. After that go to access work or school and select ,add or remove the provisioning package and click on the package that is present on the USB.

Upon a successful completion, finally we could see that the device is Azure AD joined via the provisioning package method in the Azure AD portal. Finally we could see that the Surface Pro has completely changed to a friendly meeting room device. From the Surface Room Device Side, we only see below because it expects an external monitor to be connected to this Room System Console to show the participants. At this moment i do not have the docking station hence unable to see the participants on the additional monitor.

So we should actually hook up a hdmi cable and connect them to a monitor to view the participants since this will behave like an operating console. Example like below where i have just used the Microsoft Surface Travel Hub and connected them to an external display monitor and a Logitech Ce which supports Content Camera feature as well.

In addition we can also connect a Logitech Brio which will work as a content camera which helps a lot in the white board presentation and sharing them with the remote participants during the meeting. Also with the other USB port we can connect an external camera as well. Like Like. Hi Andrew even i thought the same, but when attempting the deployment with provisioning package , rebooting the system it did not enforce me to place the surface pro device in the dock.

Copy skypesettings. Hi Sathish, thanks for writing this guide. Hi David, Yes unfortunately provisioning via this method is not allowing the devices to report in Teams Admin Center.

It seems like we are doing our custom installation not choosing the preferred meeting rooms may be its not showing in the Teams Admin Center. Like Liked by 1 person. Nice article. It is almost impossible to get one? Can you use the native Surface Cameras? What we want is to use a surface as an all-in-one portable tablet solution without needing user sign-in and additional peripherals.

Yes you can do that. Just enable the default camera in the Skypesettings. Thanks for posting this. I have been looking for some kind of docking station or something that would support this but can;t find anything that would do the job..
