Safe Exam Browser (SEB) for Microsoft Devices

 

 

Before any setup can begin, it is recommended that fleet management be enabled on all school-owned devices. This system allows IT staff to manage all devices simultaneously, ensuring consistent installation of software and configuration files across the entire school.  

Once fleet management is active, continue with the setup on the primary management computer—the designated device used to configure and push settings to the rest of the fleet—by following the instructions below. If you are not using fleet management, follow the instructions below for each device.
