I just ordered 6 new Surface Pro 3s that are running Windows 8.1 Pro. I'm not sure how to go about setting up the users accounts, so what are your best practices? I'm familiar with 8.1, as I've been running it on my personal ultrabook since it's release...but that isn't in a domain setting.
I understand how to add the systems to our domain, but when you try to download an app or access One Drive, you are prompted for a Microsoft account.
We are also planning on getting Office 365 as well, since we are a small non-profit. Would I use their Office 365 accounts as their Microsoft accounts" on the Surface Pro 3s? I believe the plan we are going with includes 1 TB of space, via OneDrive for Business, which I assume is tied to their Office 365 account. Does the account I set up in the Office 365 Admin area count as a Microsoft account?
The people using these tablets will be remote, so I'm hoping to set them up properly the first time, and then send them on their way. I am the admin of the company, so permissions are not an issue.
