How do I change the default device name? After enrolling with Apple DEP, all devices are listed as iPhone. I want to put a wildcard in so it auto updates when we change users.

Hey, Thanks for reaching out to us.

Hexnode has a feature to assign friendly names.  The following wildcards can be used to set friendly name for the devices: %deviceid%, %mail%, %imei%, %osname%, %serialnumber%, %osversion%, %username%
To set friendly name for large number of devices:

  • Navigate to Manage-> Devices and select the desired devices.
  • Click on the Actions button and choose the option ‘Set Friendly name’.
  • Enter the desired name (can include wildcards). Click Rename.

Need more info? Check out the help doc on setting friendly name using Hexnode MDM.

Cheers!
