If you haven't used Surface UEFI Configurator before, you need to prepare a certificate.
This certificate ensures that after a device is enrolled in SEMM, you can modify UEFI
settings only by using packages that are created with the approved certificate.

How you get a certificate depends on the size or complexity of your organization:

Enterprise organizations typically maintain their own infrastructure to generate
certificates according to standard security practices.

Medium-sized businesses and others often choose to get certificates from partner
providers. This option is recommended for organizations that don't have as much
IT expertise or lack a dedicated IT security team.

Alternatively, you can generate a self-signed certificate by using a PowerShell
script. For more information, see the

Surface Enterprise Management Mode

certificate requirements

. Or you can use PowerShell to create your own certificate.

For more information, see the

Self-signed certificate

documentation.

The SEMM package that Surface UEFI Configurator creates must be secured with a
certificate. The certificate verifies the signature of configuration files before UEFI settings
can be applied. For more information, see the

SEMM

documentation.

1. On a separate PC, install the Surface UEFI Configurator tool that you downloaded

earlier.

2. Open Surface UEFI Configurator, and then select

Start
