Changing the Name of the Device

You will be working within Endpoint Manager. You can access Endpoint Manager through the Admin Tile in Office 365 or through this LINK.

  1. Once you’re in Endpoint Manager you will select “Devices”

  2. Select “Windows” as the platform

  3. Search for the device by its serial number. In most cases (as of July 2021) it’ll show up as Desktop-RANDOMSTUFF

  4. Select the device you’re working on. You should see a screen with the following information

  5. To change the name select the three “…”'s to find a “Rename Device” selection

  6. A new pane will open and you can type in SSD-SERIALNUMBER

  7. Select “Yes” for restart after if you are with the system otherwise leave this option as “no”

  8. If everything worked correctly you should see a Restart and Rename “Complete” Status in the device record

Add Device record to Autopilot via the ManualAutoPilot Group

  1. Only add the Device record when the name change has completed and Azure Active Directory and Endpoint Manager displays the correct name. If either name is wrong then sync has not completed between the two and the Autopilot profile will not work correctly

    1. Checking accuracy in Endpoint Manager - Under Devices → Windows you can search for the serial number of the device and see if the name is SSD-SERIALNUMBER

    2. Checking accuracy in Azure Active Directory - Under Devices you can search for SSD-SERIALNUMBER. Because we are a Hybrid AD setup you should see two records that match.

      1. If you see more than two you will need to stop and figure out where the rogue records came from.

      2. If you only see one record then the device’s name update has not sync’d with Azure.

  2. You will want to add the Endpoint Manager system to the ManualAutopilot group
