How can we improve Microsoft Endpoint Manager Intune?

Allow User Name in Device Name Template

Under an enrollment profile, you can set a device name template to rename all devices being added. I'd like to have the option of adding a username in the front of the device type. This way, instead of seeing "iPhone" in my device list, I'll be able to see something like "JSmith iPhone"

    please implement the following variables:

    {{userprincipalname}}—for example, John@contoso.com
    {{mail}}—for example, John@contoso.com
    {{partialupn}}—for example, John
    {{accountid}}—for example, fc0dc142-71d8-4b12-bbea-bae2a8514c81
    {{deviceid}}—for example, b9841cd9-9843-405f-be28-b2265c59ef97
    {{userid}}—for example, 3ec2c00f-b125-4519-acf0-302ac3761822
    {{username}}—for example, John Doe
    {{serialnumber}}—for example, F4KN99ZUG5V2 (for iOS devices)
    {{serialnumberlast4digits}}—for example, G5V2 (for iOS devices)
    {{aaddeviceid}}—for example, ab0dc123-45d6-7e89-aabb-cde0a1234b56

    Intune seems to be way behind in some of the most basic features and functions. Other MDM solutions have provided this functionality long before now. Please add more options for the Device naming template as the current option is very limiting.

    I learned to live with this for a while, however, now that we also have Cisco Umbrella implemented, having the ability to pass userprincipalname as a parameter would make device listing in Umbrella much more clearer. Especially since the device serial is already recorded anyways.

    It would be a fantastic feature to be implemented and get each computer identified easily combined with an incremental counter (for more than 1 device per user), etc

    I would like to see the ability to create your own custom variables (e.g. {{serialnumberfirst8digits}}. Then have the ability to apply these custom variables to numerous configurations, to include Device Name Template and Lock Screen Profile. When the Device Name gets applied to iOS devices, it is broadcasted as SSID for hotspot. We would like to allow for a unique identifier, without broadcasting entire Serial Number or even users names as SSID. {{SerialNumberlast4digits}} and {{udidlast4digits}} are not unique enough in my opinion for a Lock Screen Profile or a Device Name template. Would like to apply to ~8500 devices.

    can this please finally get impletented? a response of a MS employee would be nice for once as well.

    please implement the following variables:

    {{userprincipalname}}—for example, John@contoso.com
    {{mail}}—for example, John@contoso.com
    {{partialupn}}—for example, John
    {{accountid}}—for example, fc0dc142-71d8-4b12-bbea-bae2a8514c81
    {{deviceid}}—for example, b9841cd9-9843-405f-be28-b2265c59ef97
    {{userid}}—for example, 3ec2c00f-b125-4519-acf0-302ac3761822
    {{username}}—for example, John Doe
    {{serialnumber}}—for example, F4KN99ZUG5V2 (for iOS devices)
    {{serialnumberlast4digits}}—for example, G5V2 (for iOS devices)
    {{aaddeviceid}}—for example, ab0dc123-45d6-7e89-aabb-cde0a1234b56

    Please Add this feature, This would make devices way more organized and detailed.

  • Mohamed Hafez commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Hello,

    Was this ever resolved - Any other Macro Short codes we can use here or just %serial% and %rand%
    Can I use %username% ???

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    We need more variables at least the below.
    {{userprincipalname}}
    {{username}}
    {{serialnumber}}
    {{serialnumberlast4digits}}
    {{aaddeviceid}}

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    I think the options available for app config should also be available for device naming - please add this so we can name our devices appropriately. We also came from AirWatch where this was possible.

    {{userprincipalname}}—for example, John@contoso.com
    {{mail}}—for example, John@contoso.com
    {{partialupn}}—for example, John
    {{accountid}}—for example, fc0dc142-71d8-4b12-bbea-bae2a8514c81
    {{deviceid}}—for example, b9841cd9-9843-405f-be28-b2265c59ef97
    {{userid}}—for example, 3ec2c00f-b125-4519-acf0-302ac3761822
    {{username}}—for example, John Doe
    {{serialnumber}}—for example, F4KN99ZUG5V2 (for iOS devices)
    {{serialnumberlast4digits}}—for example, G5V2 (for iOS devices)
    {{aaddeviceid}}—for example, ab0dc123-45d6-7e89-aabb-cde0a1234b56

    This should be standard. There should be more variable options. We use airwatch and it has many variables allowed for enrollment snd can changes on the fly. We are evaluating intune right now and being able to set device names with username is important to easily identify the device. Also goes to the lock screen message. Lack of variables such as username, makes device name template and lock screen message less capable to identify in event of loss.
