Microsoft Surface Hub 2 SmCamera - Manual (Page 37)

Step Description Purpose
1 Create a
logon-
enabled room
mailbox
(Exchange
Online or
Exchange
Server 2016
and later) This type of mailbox allows the device to maintain a meeting calendar,
receive meeting requests, and send mail. It must be logon-enabled in
order to be used with a Surface Hub.
2 Configure
mailbox
properties The mailbox must be configured with the correct properties to enable the
best meeting experience on Surface Hub. For more information on
mailbox properties, see
Mailbox properties .
3 Ensure that
Exchange
Web Services
(EWS) is
enabled, and
multi-factor
authentication
(MFA) is
disabled The Surface Hub uses EWS to sync its calendar. If you don't allow EWS in
your environment by default, the Hub mailbox would need to have it
explicitly enabled. As the Surface Hub logs into Exchange in the
background without user interaction, it can't respond to any interactive
prompts, such as MFA. The device account you create must be excluded
from any such authentication requirements. Otherwise, Surface Hub can't
sync mail and calendar info.
4 Enable the
account for
Teams or
Skype for
Business
(Skype for
Business
Server 2015
and later) Skype for Business or Teams must be enabled to use conferencing
features like video calls and screen sharing. For more information on the
licenses that enable Teams, see
Teams Meeting Room licensing and
Teams service description . The Teams and SfB applications on the Surface
Hub aren't compatible with Azure AD Conditional Access policies
requiring device information (for example, compliance). The device
account you create must be excluded from any such CA policies.
Otherwise, Surface Hub isn't able to use any conferencing features.
5 Ensure the
device
account has a
Teams Rooms
license to
meet new
requirements. Teams Rooms devices logged in with resource accounts that don't have
one of the above supported Teams Rooms licenses assigned to them
won't be able to sign in after July 1, 2023.
- Use a sample PowerShell script to check Teams Rooms licenses on
multiple devices .

for Surface Hub
6 (Optional)
Disable
password
expiration To simplify management, you can turn off password expiration for the
device account and allow Surface Hub to automatically rotate the device
account password. For more information about password management,
see
