Hi!
Is it possible to retrive the DeviceResourceID which you would get with eg. "(Get-CMDevice -Name $Device).ResourceID", in an running Task Sequence, without the need to load MECM PSModule or something like that?
I've looked through the TS Variables, but it doesnt seem to be in any of those, the PS cmdlet wont work without the module, and to get device details using the AdminService, i need to use the ResourceID.
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks!
Best regards,
nvm, figured it out, leaving it here for anyone else to see:
using "Run PowerShell" script to call the RESTAPI:
Use TSEnvironment or Powershell to get Devicename, then:
$DeviceName = "Test01"
$URL = "https://SITESERVER/AdminService/v1.0/Device?$filter=startswith(Name,'$Device')"
$DeviceInf = Invoke-RestMethod -Method 'GET' -Uri $URL -Credential $Credentials
$DeviceResourceID = $DeviceInf.value | select -ExpandProperty MachineId

I would never consider embedding the credentials in task sequence variables as there is no explicit guarantee of their security
What's the use case here where you want or need the Resource ID of the local system (in a task sequence or otherwise)?
The ResourceID is needed, as far as I can understand, for use when you set/create the custom properties on an deviceobject using the AdminService.
The intended use is to be in eg. task sequence to brand a device, for query/collections.
Or together with other asset information systems and their api's to brand an device.
Is there a more secure way to get the credentials in an ts in order to be able to use the adminservice? ..
If you are gathering "custom" information from a device itself, that's not the purpose of custom device properties. For this, you should extend hardware inventory so that the client itself can securely submit the information.
