Created to meet your needs where you are


 



  • Surface Management Portal: If your Surface devices are enrolled through Intune, they’re automatically enrolled into the Surface Management Portal. In Endpoint Manager, go to All Services > Surface Management Portal. This includes the comprehensive feature set of Intune and Endpoint Manager.

  • Microsoft Hardware Support Portal: If you have a Microsoft 365 subscription, you can have your support service needs fulfilled via the Microsoft 365 admin center.  In Admin center, go to Support > Microsoft hardware support. This does not require your devices to be enrolled through Intune.


Experience the Surface centralized solutions for IT today.
