Intunes API - How to create a device identity ?

Question

Hi,

I'm trying to create a device identity through an API call.
This method (https://learn.microsoft.com/fr-fr/graph/api/intune-enrollment-importeddeviceidentity-create?view=graph-rest-beta) does not work, and the people maintaining the documentation suggest to use this one instead : https://learn.microsoft.com/fr-fr/graph/api/intune-enrollment-importeddeviceidentity-importdeviceidentitylist?view=graph-rest-beta

This method produce an API response, but nothing is done, and nothing has been logged inside Intunes. Enrolled state and platform are not set contrary to documentation example. What would be the correct way to use that API ?

@PERELLO Romain Thanks for posting in our Q&A. From your description, I know that you want to add a device identify in Corporate device identifiers in intune portal via Graph API. If there is anything misunderstanding, feel free to let us know.

For this issue, please make sure that the value of "importedDeviceIdentifier" is at least 14 numeric digits.

Then try again and check if the device identity is added in intune portal.

Hope it will help.
