GraphAPI Powershell - Delete Azure AD Device that is assosiated with non-existant autopilot record

ChristopherCoates 41

I have several devices that were previous part of our Windows Autpilot infrastructure. The Autopilot record has been deleted which should have removed the AAD device record (or at a minimum, allow deletion of the device)

I have tried to run several Graph powershell commands but the API keeps returning errors like device is not found.

Can anyone provide the appropriate commands to delete this record from my AAD.

Cheers

Hi @ChristopherCoates Thank you for reaching out to us.

As I understand you are delete a device from Azure AD which is tagged as Windows Autopilot device.

Researched on your issue and found this article https://www.prajwaldesai.com/delete-windows-autopilot-device-from-azure-ad/#:~:text=1%20First%20login%20to%20Microsoft%20Endpoint%20Admin%20centre,take%20a%20few%20minutes%20to%20complete.%20More%20 which has the steps to delete the device from Azure AD.

Let me know if this article helps to resolve your issue or not.

Thanks Givery-MSFT,

The article you pointed me to was showing how i could delete in console. I needed to delete an orphaned device that thought it had an autopilot record.

In the end, I was able to delete the device using the following powershell (After Connecting to AAD)

$Devices = Get-AzureADDevice -all $true
$Results = $Devices | Where {$_.Displayname -eq $AAD_DeviceName -or $_.ObjectId -eq $AAD_ObjectID}
If ($Results -eq $null) {Write-Host "No Devices Found" -BackgroundColor Red}
Else {$Results | Remove-AzureADDevice}
