The surface hubs run Windows 10 Team edition. It does appear to be x64 based, but it only allows UWP apps to be installed and used, similar to how RT only supported windows 8 'modern' apps. There doesn't even seem to be a way to get a prompt on it from what I've seen so far.
As for what I want to manage on the hub, I don't know yet. I wanted to explorethe options available and see whether it was worth doing. I will probably attach it to Meraki and see what it can do. The Surface Hub documentation covers 3 options for managing it with first party MDM providers, and seems to imply that the On-Premises MDM with SCCM without intune can be used, so I thought I'd try that and see what the first party management looked like. Once I started going through the documentation and then following links to docs on SCCM's on-prem mdm I saw mention of the requirement for intune subscription listed, and got confused. Here's the surface hub doc that I was looking at, for reference. https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/itpro/surface-hub/manage-settings-with-mdm-for-surface-hub On Thu, Jan 19, 2017 at 9:13 AM, Lindenfeld, Ivan <[email protected]> wrote: > Setting up hybrid Intune is very doable, but seems like massive overkill > for a few Surface Hubs that are on Prem.
