Microsoft Surface IT Toolkit is a comprehensive suite of management tools that enables IT administrators to manage and maintain Surface devices with ease.
Microsoft Surface IT Toolkit provides a unified platform for managing a range of device settings, including security, updates, and policies. With Microsoft Surface IT Toolkit, IT admins can quickly deploy and configure Surface devices, monitor device health, and troubleshoot issues from a single application. It helps with traditional and cloud device management. In addition to the features for managing devices, Surface IT Toolkit also ensures that you are using the latest versions of all the tools and installers. It uses MSIX, which checks for updates automatically and installs them on your devices.
The toolkit also includes an inventory management feature that allows IT admins to track the location and status of Surface devices across the organization. This robust solution streamlines Surface device management and helps IT admins save time and resources while ensuring that devices are secure and up to date.
Microsoft Surface IT Toolkit Features:
Data Eraser: Using NIST (Special Publication 800-88 Revision 1 NVM Express), the Data Eraser feature removes the data on the Surface device. It also comes with an option to create certificates of sanitization for record-keeping and auditing purposes. You can make sure no data remains on Surface devices when you retire the device or recycle it. You can even verify the disk after wiping it to make sure no data remains on it. UEFI Configurator: With UEFI Configurator, admins can apply Surface Enterprise Management Mode (SEMM) UEFI configurations on all supported devices and docks to ensure IT staff enable or disable components on devices at the firmware level. This feature helps enhance the device’s security and prevents unauthorized changes. Recovery Tool: When any of the Surface devices are facing issues and need to undergo troubleshooting, the Recovery tool can help reset it back to the factory settings state. This tool helps admins work with existing or newly built images to make sure the device is free of errors. Tool Library: The Tool Library contains all the additional tools and installers to deploy to the end users when needed, along with their purpose and documentation. Some of the tools included in the Tool Library are the Surface Asset Tag Tool, Surface Diagnostic Toolkit for Business, Surface Brightness Control Tool, etc.
