Missed our recent Microsoft Reactor “Mixed Reality BizApps 101: Dynamics 365 Remote Assist Deployment Best Practices” event? We've got you covered! Here is a quick summary of Payge Winfield's top 5 takeaways from the session. You can also watch the full session recording here.
There are three common deployment scenarios that we typically see.
Scenario 1: Internal Remote Assist Communications
In this scenario Company X owns the Remote Assist and Teams licenses. Company X provides their internal users with Remote Assist and Team licenses to make internal calls to one another.
Scenario 2
In this scenario Company X owns Remote Assist licenses, and Company Y owns Teams licenses. Each company assigns their users with their respective licenses. The Remote Assist users in Company X need to communicate with the Teams users in Company Y.
Scenario 3
In this scenario Company Y owns both the Remote Assist and Teams licenses. Company Y assigns their experts with Teams licenses. Company Y wants assign Remote Assist licenses to external clients using "service accounts". A service account is an account in your tenant that you distribute to external users.
Each of these scenarios pose different concerns. The rest of this blog will highlight the top three, common concerns as well as some Do’s and Don’ts.
One of the best ways to lock down the HoloLens is to use Kiosk mode and WDAC. While Kiosk Mode and WDAC are typically viewed as interchangeable methods for locking down the HoloLens device, this couldn’t be further from the truth. Both Kiosk Mode and WDAC can lock down the device, but the methods these features use differ. Kiosk Mode is a user experience feature, while WDAC is a security feature. While Kiosk Mode disables the visibility of an app to a user, WDAC places the app on an actual allow/block list.
In scenario 2, Company X (Remote Assist user) and Company Y (Teams user) both owned their own licenses. However, it is important to note that Remote Assist is built on top of the Teams platform. This means that Remote Assist will honor any communication (federation) configurations that are implemented by Teams.
Specifically, there are three methods that Company X and Company Y can use to communicate with each other:
Managing HoloLens devices is an important step in deploying at scale. Below are some recommendations for CSPs (Configuration Service Providers) to deploy to HoloLens 2 devices.
To learn more about CSPs, please check out our documentation:
Policies in Policy CSP supported by HoloLens 2 - Windows Client Management | Microsoft Docs
Configuration service provider reference - Windows Client Management | Microsoft Docs
Last – but not least – it is important to keep these do’s and don’ts in mind when deploying HoloLens devices.
