How to mark a device ownership as "corporate" AUTOMATICALLY when new device enrolls in InTune or DEP
Ali Fadavinia Could you please try manually adding one device on the corp device identifier by adding the serial number and name?
Hi Ambarish,
Thanks for your response,
As I explained above, manual enrollment is not my concern. I ve been switching devices' ownership from personal to corporate manually once they show up there.
I want to configure it in a way that it happens automatically the way it was explained in Microsoft document - specially with the new coming devices:
Intune automatically assigns corporate-owned status to devices that are:
Enrolled with a device enrollment manager account (all platforms)
Enrolled with the Apple Device Enrollment Program, Apple School Manager, or
Apple Configurator (iOS only)
they explained it is happening but it does not.Ali Fadavinia I understand your concern. My point was to check manually ["Enter Manually"] adding a device (not by using the csv upload) and see if the device shows up as corporate, just to rule out that if there is anything to do with the csv upload method.
Also noticed the below on the official documentation:
Some Android and iOS/iPadOS devices have multiple IMEI numbers. Intune only reads one IMEI number per enrolled device. If you import an IMEI number but it is not the IMEI inventoried by Intune, the device is classified as a personal device instead of a corporate-owned device. If you import multiple IMEI numbers for a device, uninventoried numbers display Unknown for enrollment status.
Also note: Serial Numbers are the recommended form of identification for iOS/iPadOSOS devices.
ambarishrh Thanks for your response and time.
Here is a very recent DEPped one just for today. The ownership is Personal.We only use single IMEI for each device.
Ali Fadavinia When a device is enrolled via DEP/ ABM it should be marked as corporate as the documentation described. At our tenant DEP devices are shown with Ownership Corporate. But to be sure, it`s not only registering the devices with Apple ABM, existing devices not to be reset and re-enrolled. If that`s the case, I cannot think of what could cause this.
Hello, PKlapwijk I work with Ali. We have brand new DEP/ABM devices that are showing as personal not corporate. We don't understand the reason why this would be. From the way we read the article all DEP/ABM devices should be designated as corporate. Is this a setting somewhere we need to change? Something we need to talk to our phone Vendor about? Some other mechanism we are unaware of?
Thank you for your help with this. It's appreciated.
