Has anyone managed to update the Entra name for an Android for work device

Question

I can rename a fully managed android but not an android for work

$Device = Get-MgDeviceManagementManagedDevice -ManagedDeviceId "12345-1245-4118-a41d-0dac089b3101"|select *

Set-MgBetaDeviceManagementManagedDeviceName -ManagedDeviceId $Device.Id -DeviceName "AP-AND-FM-RQCX50539ZY"

$Device = Get-MgDeviceManagementManagedDevice -ManagedDeviceId "1234512345-1234-1234-a897-583c6e3755ca"|select *

Set-MgBetaDeviceManagementManagedDeviceName -ManagedDeviceId $Device.Id -DeviceName "Bob.Builder_AndroidForWork"

The first one gets renamed the 2nd drops an error [BadRequest] : { "_version": 3, "Message": "An error has occurred - Operation ID (for customer support): 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 - Activity ID: c28bff3a-c66f-4559-89e8-c3b27f6b60dd - Url: https://fef.msub03.manage.microsoft.com/DeviceFE/StatelessDeviceFEService/deviceManagement/managedDevices('2cd20f5a-fa77-4c09-a897-583c6e3755ca')/microsoft.management.services.api.setDeviceName?api-version=5024-07-19", "CustomApiErrorPhrase": "", "RetryAfter": null, "ErrorSourceService": "", "HttpHeaders":

It's running in in a automation account via a managed identity any hints welcomed. The only real difference is one is a fully managed intune enterprise device and the other has just a work profile.

Tried with a delegated account but saw that this may not be supported

@Darren Duvall (Anticimex Global) Thanks for your quick update.

Currently, with Q&A limitation, I couldn't repeat this situation. And I didn't get any report about this issue from others. Given this situation, it is suggested to create an online support ticket to get more help. Here is the support link:

Thanks for your understanding and hope everything goes well with you.

Answer 2

@Darren Duvall (Anticimex Global) Thanks for posting in our Q&A.

Based on my research, we can rename device via "setDeviceName".

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/intune-devices-manageddevice-setdevicename?view=graph-rest-beta

Request URL: (Need to add the specific deviceID)

Post https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/deviceManagement/managedDevices('deviceID')/setDeviceName

Body:

{"deviceName":"xxx"}

However, in intune official article, it shows that we can rename the following types of android devices:

• Android Enterprise:
  • Corporate-owned work profiles
  • Dedicated devices
  • Fully managed

Hope it will help.
