Note Starting with Windows 10, version 1703, this setting can no longer be used in provisioning packages. For more information on changes to the Windows Provisioning Framework, see Windows Provisioning Framework. This setting may have a Configuration Service Provider (CSP) equivalent that can be used instead. To determine if a CSP for this setting exists, see the description below.
Required. Specify a brand name for the phone to be used for consumer marketing.
This string specifies the brand name of the phone, and is used for Customer Support and Watson reports. This string is the name marketed to consumers or end users. It appears as part of the phone friendly name in multiple places in the phone’s UI including: on the Welcome screen, the Settings > About screen, and on the desktop computer.
For more information about specifying settings within variants, see Create a provisioning package with multivariant settings.
OEMs should ensure that this value matches the value of the ProductString value under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\CurrentControlSet\Control\USBFN\Default registry key.
Microsoft recommends that partners consider the following when specifying the value for the PhoneModelName
setting:
Leave this name blank during development until the phone is ready to enter trials, as applications can collect and read this value.
Do not include the manufacturer or OEM name when setting the value for this setting. There are dialogs on the phone that display
PhoneManufacturer
appended toPhoneModelName
so including the OEM or manufacturer’s name when settingPhoneModelName
will result in repetitions. For example, ifPhoneManufacturer
is set to Contoso andPhoneModelName
is set to Contoso Phone z102, the result will show up as Contoso Contoso Phone z102.Use a different value for
PhoneModelName
and another value forPhoneManufacturerModelName
. The latter should be as different as possible for the particular device revision or variant.
