this part of the what's new article (pasted below) talks about the new way that Intune fills out certain fields for dual sim iOS devices, for example
IMEI now instead of just the number as in "0123456789789" has "primary:0123456789789,CTSubscriptionSlotTwo:0123456710", same for the other fields listed in the article.
Not a problem for Intune, but since this was implemented, we have had all dual sim capable devices duplicated in our company database.
Is there no way of reverting this, or is an option to choose not to have this feature enabled?
The article says that it is set as default which implies other options are available.
If not an option to have as before, then could it not be implemented to just create a new field for this information, and have the primary phone number, IMEI, MEID, and ICCID to stay as is?
You can now view the service subscription fields on devices that have multiple SIM cards installed under the per-device Hardware section. The inventory fields that are capable of reporting multiple values to Intune are:
- ICCID
- IMEI
- MEID
- Phone number
These fields will default to using labels returned by the device, such as: Primary, Secondary, CTSubscriptionSlotOne, and CTSubscriptionSlotTwo. These returned labels may be displayed in the language of the local device that is reporting its inventory to Intune.
