Finding a Serial Number from the Associated Azure AD Device

Question

Occasionally I find a device in Azure (under a user > devices) that doesn't have S/N naming convention. It has a generic DESKTOP-name. If I knew the serial, I could search that in AutoPilot list, and then find the associated device. But I don't know how to do it the other way around.

Obviously there is some link between these two records (a secondary relationship?). Is there a way to get the S/N with a powershell search or some other spot?
Currently the only way to do this is to click through all the AutoPilot S/N's, pull up properties until I find the associated name. With thousands of devices, this is not feasible. See images below.

If I have the S/N, I can search it in AutoPilot, look at properties and find the Associated Azure AD device. But not the other way around.

I want to know how to take Azure AD device Name: DESKTOP-IMMKAOT to find the S/N. The image below show how the S/N 'knows' how to find the Azure Associated Device.
But I can't do the other way around.

Answer 1

We were provided this answer through StackExchange, and it works for AutoPilot devices that are described as in my post.

Copy the Device ID from Azure Portal.

• Open Microsoft Graph Explorer - https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/graph-explorer.
• Authenticate to your tenant if not automatically logged in.
• In the query window select Get and enter the following query: https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/deviceManagement/windowsAutopilotDeviceIdentities?$filter=azureActiveDirectoryDeviceIdeq 'Azure Device ID'.

However, we have one more conundrum -- which is for devices with the Blue icon (non-autopilot) that are also not Intune. Need to find a solution for that.

In PowerShell, you can connect to AzureAd and do something like:

Get-AzureADDevice -ObjectId "d1e9eee7-716d-4579-90f3-d6ac2182b873"

But it does not provide a serial number. We need that.

Hello @Damon Burro ,

Thanks for posting your query. From your description I could understand that you are looking to find device serial number with device name. Here are the following ways you could do it from UI.

• When device hash is uploaded then the object created in Azure AD with
  name==serial number of the device. (The device is not provisioned yet).

• Once device is provisioned the serial number and name of the device could be sorted from MEM console by navigating to Devices -> Windows -> Windows Devices -> and sort the device with serial number or device name as in below example:

Another way around is to have serial number in the device name (post device provisioning). This is possible by adding device name in deployment profile:
