Update Intune Managed Device Category with Microsoft Graph were Failed

[Nayuta]

I'd failed to update the managed device category in Intune with Microsoft Graph. With the same code, I'd succeeded to update device owner. Parameter below:

URL: https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/deviceManagement/managedDevices('XXXXXXXXXX')
Method: PUT

Failed request body:

{ "deviceCategoryDisplayName": "General Purpose" }

Succeeded request body:

{ "Owner": "Personal" }

"General Purpose" is a custom value. When failed, the server returns an error code and activity id.

How can I fix it?

Thank you.

Hi,

you have to create the category first in Intune before you can assign it to a device:

otherwise you are not seeing it and assignment is not allowed:

I think this constrained is the same when doing it via graph.

In addition to what Oliver said, here's how if you want to do it through Graph API:

1.  Create the category

Request URL : https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/deviceManagement/deviceCategories

Request Method: POST

Request Payload: {displayName: "testCategory(displayNameOfCategory)"}

Sample response:

{

"@odata.context":"https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/$metadata#deviceManagement/deviceCategories/$entity",

"id":"11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111(TakeThisIDItIsYourDeviceCategoryID)",

"displayName":"testCategory",

"description":null

}

Or Get categories if created already

Request URL : https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/deviceManagement/deviceCategories

Request Method: GET

Sample response:

{

"@odata.context":"https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/$metadata#deviceManagement/deviceCategories",

"value":[{"id":"11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111","displayName":"testCategory","description":null}]

}

2. Set the category for device

Request URL: https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/deviceManagement/managedDevices('22222222-2222-2222-2222-2222222222...

Request Method: PUT

Request Payload: {@odata.id: "https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/deviceManagement/deviceCategories/11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111..."}

Sample response: 204
