Hi,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.

Per my experience, it is possible to use Script Runbook on Azure Automation to rename Android devices in Intune. You can use the "Rename device" action in the Intune admin center to change the device name, and then use Azure Automation to automate this process on a schedule.

First, you will need to create a PowerShell script to rename the device. Here is an example script that you can modify to your needs:

# Connect to Intune

Connect-AzureAD

# Get device by ID

$device = Get-AzureADDevice -ObjectID "<Device Object ID>"

# Rename device

Set-AzureADDevice -ObjectID $device.ObjectID -DisplayName "<New Device Name>"

Replace <Device Object ID> with the ID of the device you want to rename, and <New Device Name> with the new name you want to give to the device.

Save this script to a file in your Azure Automation account.

Next, create a new Runbook in your Automation account and paste the script into the editor. You can then set a schedule for the Runbook to run on a regular basis, such as daily or weekly.

When the Runbook runs, it will connect to Intune, retrieve the device you specified, and rename it to the new name you specified. You can monitor the status of the Runbook and view any output or errors in the Azure portal.

Thanks for this example script.
It was able to rename the device in AzureAD but that does not translate over into Intune.

I have been able to use Graph API to rename the Management Name of the device in Intune, but this is not the same as the device name and therefore does not show up on the device.

Here is my example of renaming the Management Name of a device, based on the Serial Number

Install-Module -Name Microsoft.Graph.DeviceManagement -Force Install-Module -Name Microsoft.Graph.DeviceManagement.Actions -Force Import-Module -Name Microsoft.Graph.DeviceManagement Import-Module -Name Microsoft.Graph.DeviceManagement.Actions Connect-MgGraph -Scopes DeviceManagementManagedDevices.PrivilegedOperations.All, DeviceManagementManagedDevices.Read.All, DeviceManagementManagedDevices.ReadWrite.All $Device = Get-MgDeviceManagementManagedDevice -Filter "contains(serialNumber,'{SerialNum}')" | Select ID #Set the Management Name of the device Update-MgDeviceManagementManagedDevice -id $Device -DeviceName "{NewName}"

The main requirement for this is when end users call the service desk with an issue on their Android device, we need a simple way to identify the tablet. The device info page can show the device name but if it is the default name given to it from Intune then the end users has the read out a name like 30065dd337a73097_AndroidEnterprise_8/22/2023_12:06 PM.

It would be much easier to have them read out TAB-1234
Any suggestions?
