So, is there anyone who has verified that the Microsoft Surface USB Ethernet adapter is actually compatible with PXE booting and Win PE connectivity with the Surface Book? I notice the Ethernet drivers are listed on the Surface Pro 3 downloads page, but not on the Surface Book downloads page.

There is finally something available for the Surface 3 and Surface Pro 3 that's better than gluing on a cable lock: Microsoft Surface Lock And Cable Security Kit | Cable Locking Stand Now they need to update for Surface Pro 4 and Surface Book.

Is the driver installed in Windows or not? I am kind of skeptical that the driver for the USB Ethernet adapter and dock are really in box drivers that don't need to be downloaded from Microsoft before the USB adapter functions in Windows, but I will find out for sure when we receive them. Even...

OK, we will try relying on the inbox drivers for the USB Ethernet adapter working for the OS deployment when the Surface Books arrive.

Do UEFI drivers still work when the system boots into WinPE during an OS deployment and during OS installation? Normally, we have to import network drivers into our deployment workbench.

I never said it was useless for everyone. I was specifically talking about this use case of using the device for running Office apps and RDP, so I wanted to see if there is some way to disable it and save some battery and have fewer crashes and unlock from dock failures. We have no video...

The question was specifically about the Microsoft Surface USB Ethernet adapter. I was not planning on trying to get any others to work. I wanted to confirm that the official Microsoft Surface Ethernet adapter actually works with the Surface Book. I looked at the driver downloads for the...

OK thanks.

Is there anyone using the adapter? Where do you get Ethernet drivers for a Surface Book that isn't able to download from Windows Update?

If you run this command: WMIC computersystem get model What does it display and is it the same with or without dGPU?

The bigger screen as you mentioned plus better keyboard and much more battery life than a SP4. It will be a benefit for users to be able to charge them at home and not have to carry the power adapter around in most cases. The dGPU is not needed. It adds more complexity and bugs for no benefit...

No. They were purchased with dGPU because the 8GB 256GB model without dGPU was not available from the vendor when the order was made and they didn't want to wait. The use case for these devices does not require a dGPU and it seems it will be adding bugs and instability for no benefit. The dPU...

Is there any option to disable the GPU so the Surface Book works as if it didn't exist?

Does it now or will it ever support Intel WiDi or Pro WiDi? This page says WiDi only goes to Windows 8.1 and WiDi Pro only goes up to 5th generation Intel processors plus certain Core M processors. Support Knowledge Base

Has anyone verified that the Surface Book will PXE boot using the Microsoft Surface USB Ethernet adapter?

It depends on what you're using it for. Either you need to run Windows applications or you don't. I had an iPad before and Safari randomly crashed and quit so often that I got rid of it and never replaced it. So, they don't always just work.

Has anyone tried other lower resolutions yet? Which ones work? Is there a 1500x1000 option available that's sharp and clear?

Can't you just use a standard USB keyboard and mouse in WinPE? The drivers are here: Download Microsoft Surface Book from Official Microsoft Download Center
