How to configure a Surface Hub 2S with Teams and Exchange 2019 on premise
Hellocezarcretu,
Thank you for your reply.
Our IT service provider opened a ticket with Microsoft, but after several weeks, the Surface Hubs are still not easily usable.
We have a Logitech Rally + Touch for Microsoft Teams videoconference system that also runs a Windows 10 IoT, and this device works: it shows the meeting list on the tablet, and when we click on a meeting, it connects in Teams. So it should not be impossible to have a Surface Hub 2S that works with an Exchange 2019 on-premise and Microsoft Teams! Even if we deactivated Sharepoint Online and Onedrive for all accounts for security reasons.
I installed the Surface Hubs by joining our internal AD, and the administrators are the group “domain admins”. I tried to initiate by joining Azure AD, but it blocked the installation, I had to reinit the Surface Hub with a USB key image.
I mainly followed the procedure you linked. Adding the correct https://server.fqdn/Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync in the configuration of the account in the Surface Hub settings allowed to invite users from Teams in the Surface Hub.
Here are more details of our problem:
- In Microsoft 365 admin center, there are 2 user accounts that were converted in room accounts for the Surface Hubs. They still appear in the user list, not in rooms. They have a Office 365 E3 license, with these options checked: Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise, Microsoft search, Microsoft Teams and Skype Enterprise Online :
 - In Exchange 2019 on-premise, they appear as rooms:
 - When I create a Teams meeting in Outlook, I add the Surface Hub as participant and as room (if I only add the Surface as a room, it doesn’t create any entry in the calendar):
 - This meeting appears after some seconds on the Surface welcome screen:
 - If I click on this meeting on the Surface, it just opens Teams and the whiteboard, but it doesn’t join the meeting:
 - If I click on the Windows menu icon, it shows again the meeting, but if I click on it, it does nothing:
 - The only way to use the Surface Hub in a meeting is to click on the participants in Teams on a PC and to click on “Request to join”:
 - Then it opens a pop-up on the Surface with a ringing sound where we can accept the invite, or sometimes it just appears in the notifications of the Surface without sound:
 
Could it be useful to subscribe to the Insiders program to install the Windows 10 IoT 2020 Update on the Surface Hubs?
Hello Joel_S ,
Given the behavior you described, I believe you're running into this issue. If you have Exchange 2019 on CU5, please update to at least CU7, it will resolve it. Let us know the outcome, please.
Thank you,
