Device settings can be configured through the Settings app. The Settings app is
customized for Surface Hub, but also contains many familiar settings from Windows 10
or Windows 11 Desktop. A User Accounts Control (UAC) prompt appears when opening
up the Settings app to verify the admin's credentials, but this doesn't sign in the admin.

Potential impact on organization policies:

Employees can use the Surface Hub for meetings, but can't modify any device
settings. In addition to lockdown features, this ensures that employees only use
the device for meeting functions.

The administrative features in Windows 10 or Windows 11 Enterprise, such as the
Microsoft Management Console, Run, Command Prompt, PowerShell, Registry editor,
and Task manager aren't supported on Surface Hub. The Settings app contains all of the
administrative features locally available on Surface Hub.

Windows 10 Team 2020 Update 2 adds support for the Windows Event Viewer, which is
identical to the

Event Viewer

installed on Windows 10 Pro or Windows 10 Enterprise.

To open Event viewer:

1. Sign in to

Settings

app with admin credentials.

2. Select

Update & Security

>

Logs

and under Event Viewer, select

Open

.

Surface Hub supports remote management through mobile device management (MDM)
solutions such as

Microsoft Intune

and monitoring through

Azure Monitor

.

Potential impact on organization policies:

Surface Hub doesn't support installing Win32 agents required by most traditional
PC management and monitoring tools, such as System Center Operations
Manager.
