Surface Hub user - need interactive Whiteboard
Excellent! I'm an early adopter of the Surface Hub and we have (5) total right now, also looking to purchase 15-20 more in the next year with some pending features. We have (3) 55" and (2) 84" units, and we use them allll the time. The adoption rate of these units, compared to the typical "smart board" or VTC units in other rooms is crazy - people just walk up and start using it. There are some day-1 features that are lacking, and we are really hoping to get some updates soon on this as they are pretty significant in our workflow. Please (MS) don't take this as a dig, just as a serious point of interest if not a linchpin in getting our internal customers to purchase these things. Main item - whiteboard needs some additional functionality and needs to support bi-directional input from all attendees whether the other attendees are on Skype for Business (windows or mac, via that Whiteboard) or via another Surface Hub joined into the same SfB meeting with the whiteboard app. This is so powerful when in the room, but having a collaborative experience when you have other Surface Hub-enabled rooms, or even Surface Pro/Book/Studio attendees that also have touch/stylus capacity; it is just a major issue that needs to be addressed. There are also little nice-to-have features that would be nice in this Whiteboard app, such more colors in the palette, ability to expand the canvas or move it around with limitless scale or size, or change the brush size or type. Lots of nice-to-haves, but generally the basic out of the box is pretty great and we use it all the time. We also really want to see the use of MS built-in apps (like OneDrive for Business, PowerBI, etc.) to have the ability to logon with NFC, which other 3rd party apps are already supporting. This would be a huge benefit to saving and interacting with files stored elsewhere on O365 services. Again, not a deal-breaker - we can logon with the keyboard/mouse, but NFC would be a huge win and easy functionality to really Wow people with the ease of use. Those are my opening thoughts, but really I am psyched to see the MS Surface product group reach out and create a community base like this. Who else already has Surface Hubs, and what are you experiences like? Who is 'on the fence' and wants to know more about the capability and how it can deliver on the hype? I'm sure the community can share great stories with you about how they work in our daily lives already, but I'd love to hear what other people are thinking about the products as well. Cheers!

SurfaceHub Gen1 violation error at several devices
Following Error occured 2 day's ago on several SurfaceHub Gen1 in our company: SurfaceHub error: secure boot violation invalid signature detected. Check secure boot policy in setup. Solution could be to disable Secure Boot and other UEFI details. But following process to enter UEFI / Bios is not working at all: Shut down the Surface Hub completely. Press and hold the volume up button on the side of the device. While holding the volume up button, press and release the power button. Continue holding the volume up button until the Surface logo appears. The device should now boot into the UEFI (BIOS) settings menu. We did test with several different SurfaceHub devices and all kind of pressing and holding these buttons, even with external cabled Keyboard. Not able to enter UEFI. Does anybody have same issue? Know in detail how to enter UEFI at Surface Hub Generation 1. thx for any hints BrunoAn engineer’s tour of the hardware and design of the Surface Hub is now live!!!
Hello fellow Tech bloggers! I'm happy to share that we have released the first of our new Microsoft Mechanic's video-series: An engineer's tour of the hardware and design of the Surface Hub! The series kicks off with a 6-minute overview of the hardware and design of the Surface Hub led by Director of Engineering, Peter Oehler. Peter details the level of innovation, from the silicon to the Operating System, as well as the intricacies of the embedded devices and sensors. This combination of attributes makes the Surface Hub able to detect presence and be ready-to-use as soon as you walk into the room, while greatly enhancing the video teleconference experience for meeting participants. Please go check out the video below, subscribe, and leave your comments =)!. Also, we posted a blog detailing the features in TechNet, give it a look and start getting your Hubs running! Thank you for reading (and watching), see you soon! Nydia

For those of you waiting for updates on the support of TLS 1.0/1.1 deprecation and the Skype for Business app support on Surface Hub, please view the following statement: The following devices are actively working on supporting TLS 1.2 and are committed to providing support for TLS 1.2 before TLS 1.0/1.1 deprecation. Skype Room System (a.k.a. 'SRSv2' or Rigel) and Surface Hub guidance - Microsoft Surface Hub and Skype Room Systems Version 2 (SRS v2) will continue to work past October 31, 2018.

Skype for Business on premise customers should not enable TLS 1.2 until Surface Hub and Skype Room Systems V2 provide a software update." (Source)Example SyncML for Surface Hub MDM management
Here is some sample SyncML code for management of Surface Hub. The code as a whole can be used with Airwatch or broken down and used with InTune. You'll need to replace the data fields with your specific configuration. This profile does not contain all of the management options available, but hopefully it will help get some folks started with some ideas. <Replace> <CmdID>101</CmdID> <Item> <Target>

I work on a highly collaborative, yet dispersed team. We have a Surface hub at one location that we use for all our daily standup meetings. I would love to be able to switch to Microsoft Teams for our calls, however I can't figure out how to best "join" the meeting from the Hub. Anyone have ideas? Thanks, Derek
