Device Bulk Rename Struggle
We've struggled with this for quite some time now. What we need to do is, discover all Intune devices with one of the following elements true: 10.1.x.x IP address 10.111.x.x IP address Then re...
So the issue I run into with this suggestion is that Intune does not natively support device renaming based on specific criteria like IPv4 addresses. I've checked Intune 3x, and unless I'm missing something here or you have another suggestion, I'm back to working on a script. Though I think that I can create a more basic script and deploy it to all devices. Something like this:
$ipAddress = (Get-NetIPAddress -AddressFamily IPv4 | Where-Object { $_.IPAddress -like '10.1.*' }).IPAddress
if ($ipAddress -ne $null) {
$serialNumber = (Get-WmiObject Win32_BIOS).SerialNumber
$newComputerName = "A-$serialNumber"
Rename-Computer -NewName $newComputerName -Force -Restart
} else {
Write-Host "IPv4 address does not match the criteria. No action taken."
}
Thoughts?

Any update?
Still a struggle, nothing has really worked. We got a script from a Microsoft engineer, it renamed less than 100 devices, and he's not sure why yet. Pretty lost here and continuing one by one as time permits.
- But are you using a script on the client side which renames the computername or are you trying do to it with Graph?
- We've attempted both methods with zero success. The script from the MS Engineer ran on Intune gave us monitoring, which broke-out the different subnets and allowed for export of the CSVs. That gave us good references as to what we have in whatever subnet, but as stated previously, it renamed approximately 100 devices out of thousands.
