Graph api for Azure AD Devices.

Question

Hi,
While exploring the device graph endpoint, the properties domainName, sourceType and externalSourceName always returns value as null.

I wanted to know what these properties refer to.

Answer 1

Those are Intune-related properties and are poorly documented as the whole Intune/device management API is still finding its way to the Graph.

Answer 2

Hello @Anonymous ,

As per https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/resources/device?view=graph-rest-beta#properties:

domainName refers to The on-premises domain name of Hybrid Azure AD joined devices. This property is set by Intune.

So, your devices must be hybrid AD joined to have the domainName updated.

However, I am digging more through this what are the other conditions to require to have this property updated. Also I am checking more on other two attributes to see correlation i.e., sourcetype and externalSourceName.

Suggestion from Intune Engineering team on this:

• Firstly, can you try making an explicit GraphAPI call to the device record (device ID) rather than a list return because we purposefully do not populate some attributes in the list return which would be returned when querying the object directly. -There should be two AAD records for this device because it is hybrid AADJ - can you check both objects please.
