How to fetch Object ID from Device Name

Question

I would like to have an API where I put in the Device Name and fetch the Object ID and AAD ID of the device.

As per article: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/device-get?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http, the query is being run using object ID.

I tried to use API: https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/devices/?$filter(displayName eq 'DESKTOP-RRNFP6H')&$select=id,deviceId,displayName however it returned me all the device including the specified device.

Request some help on this please.

Thanks.

Answer 1

This works for me in the beta and 1.0 versions.

https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/devices?$filter=displayName+eq+'XXX-XXXXXXXXXX'&$select=id,deviceId,displayName

Hope you are having a great day!

The $filter parameter might not be supported for the displayName field in the Microsoft Graph API, which could be why you're getting all devices instead of just the specified one. In this case, you might need to retrieve all devices and then filter the results on your end based on the displayName you're looking for. You can use device ID parameter.

So , The following request retrieves the id and extensionAttributes property of a device.

Example--> https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/devices/6a59ea83-02bd-468f-a40b-f2c3d1821983?$select=id,extensionAttributes

Moreover, if you need to do using deviceName/displayName , you can use below script to achieve this .

$deviceName = "DESKTOP-RRNFP6H"
$uri = "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/devices?$select=id,deviceID,displayName"

$accessToken = "YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN_HERE"  # Replace with your actual access token

$headers = @{
    "Authorization" = "Bearer $accessToken"
}

$response = Invoke-Rest Method -Uri $uri -Headers $headers -Method Get

if ($response.StatusCode -eq 200) {
    $devices = $response.value
    
    for each ($device in $devices) {
        if ($device.displayName -eq $deviceName) {
            $deviceId = $device.id
            $aadId = $device.deviceID
            Write-Host "Device Name: $deviceName"
            Write-Host "Object ID: $deviceId"
            Write-Host "AAD ID: $aadId"
            break
        }
    }
} else {
    Write-Host "Error: $($response.StatusCode) - $($response.Content)"
}
