Hi @Akesh Jadhav ,

Thanks for reaching out.

To create and register a new device in the organization using Graph API, your app must be registered with the Microsoft identity platform and has Directory.AccessAsUser.All permissions in your registered application to register the device in Entra ID.

To register the device, user should have Intune Administrator, or Windows 365 Administrator or higher role.

Users need to authenticate to get the access token with required permissions/scope (Directory.AccessAsUser.All ) to call the below Graph API to register the device

POST https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/devices
Content-type: application/json

{
  "accountEnabled":false,
  "alternativeSecurityIds":
  [
    {
      "type":2,
      "key":"xxx"
    }
  ],
  "deviceId":"DeviceID",
  "displayName":"DeviceName",
  "operatingSystem":"OsName",
  "operatingSystemVersion":"OsVersion"
}

Reference - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/device-post-devices?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http

Hope this will help.

Thanks,

Shweta

Yes I have gone through this API earlier, but this request needs a device ID. How to generate this device ID. Because I have 5 Windows machines, I want to join all 5 machines on Entra ID. I have gone through the following documentation

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/devices/device-registration-how-it-works

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/devices/device-join-plan

but this is a manual way, I want to write my own program to do this. Is it possible?

Akesh Jadhav the only way to register the device as of now is manually only. There is no way to achieve this programmatically.

There is no PowerShell command to join the device to Entra ID, I see lot of community members raised this requirement - https://feedback.azure.com/d365community/search/?q=powershell+azure+join you can upvote this feature request.

Thanks,
