"Windows 10 Enterprise Creators Update (build 1703) is not supported for Skype Room Systems v2 image creation."
Hope that changes soon...

Hope that changes soon...Yes. In the meanwhile - turn OFF automatic updates or your on-screen-keyboard will stop working.
- The on-screen keyboard stopped working when Windows 10 got updated from 1607 to 1703.
When looking trough the settings I found that one registry key got reset:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\TabletTip\1.7\EnableDesktopModeAutoInvoke
When resetting this to the same value as configured in the scripts in the Skype Room System Deployment Kit and then restarting the device the touch screen keyboard started to work again.
Set-ItemProperty -Path HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\TabletTip\1.7 -Name EnableDesktopModeAutoInvoke -Value 1 -Type DWord
Hope this might help anyone who got the same issue as me.Just wanted to share the issues we faced in our organisation as this could be useful for others:
1. It is not possible to capture the image with SRS application. We need that in order to deploy the image via SCCM. If you follow the instructions in this KB - https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt790558.aspx you will be able to install Win 10 and SRS application, but you won't be able to capture that image - resulting image will not have SRS application. We have support ticket opened for that since the end of June and no progress so far
2. The only option to get SRS application updates is Windows Store. There is no standalone msi package. The package in this KB - https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt790558.aspx is not a SRS application - it is a set of files for image deployment actually. Again if you want to deploy new SRS application via SCCM you can't do that.
3. Microsoft Premier Support has no idea what is Skype Room System. Every time you open a ticket you will have to explain that this is Surface Pro device and that Microsoft develops SRS software for it. Then you ticket will go back and forth between different Microsoft team as (again!) they have no idea what SRS is.
4. Microsoft just announced that Surface Pro 4 is not available, while Surface Pro 5 will become available in the end of September only. If you want to purchase SRS now you can't do that!
