./Vendor/MSFT/SurfaceHub/DeviceAccount

Node for setting device account information. A device account is a Microsoft Exchange account that's connected with Skype for Business, which allows people to join scheduled meetings, make Skype for Business calls, and share content from the device. See the Surface Hub administrator guide for more information about setting up a device account. To use a device account from Microsoft Entra ID: 1. Set the UserPrincipalName (for Microsoft Entra ID). 2. Set a valid Password. 3. Execute ValidateAndCommit to validate the specified username and password combination against Microsoft Entra ID. 4. Get the ErrorContext in case something goes wrong during validation.

Note

If the device cannot auto-discover the Exchange server and Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) address from this information, you should specify the ExchangeServer and SipAddress.
