Hi,
We are looking at purchasing a few Surface Hubs for our new office and recently visited a vendor who had some demo units. During the demo we logged into the unit using a corporate account and were able to access content in OneDrive for Business as well as SharePoint Online, however we could not access content in SharePoint 2016 (on-premise) where we still hold plenty of business data.
Our setup is hybrid O365/on-prem for most things and we have ADFS & WAP 2016 deployed.
I wish I had taken a screenshot of the error - but I forgot. It was something related to authentication.
I suppose I wanted to know, is it possible to access SharePoint on-prem data using the Surface Hubs or is it literally cloud only? Googling doesn't give a clear answer.
Thanks,

So we now have the demo unit (55") and fully patched.
Unfortunately we still can't access SharePoint 2016 documents. The hub prompts for user/pass with a Windows authentication dialogue but then it immediately fails with an authentication error: "Can't open file. <Filename> may be locked, in use, or you don't have sufficient permissions"
Looking at the IIS logs on the SP server, we can just see 401 errors. It isn't even being passed a username. E.g.
2018-05-29 11:19:41 172.16.255.170 OPTIONS /clients/Client1/Projects/Folder/ - 443 - 192.168.10.157 Microsoft+Office/16.0+(Microsoft+Office+Word+16.0.9330;+Pro) - 401 0 0 31
2018-05-29 11:19:41 172.16.255.170 HEAD /clients/Client1/Projects/Folder/Document.docx - 443 - 192.168.10.157 Microsoft+Office+Word+2014 - 401 0 0 31
Anyone got any clever ideas? The Hub is domain joined but that shouldn't make a difference either way (my understanding is the Hub doesn't actually do anything for normal authentication with AD, only for administration)
