Note – A manually enroled iOS/iPadOS device will automatically be assigned a ‘Personal’ ownership designation. For this reason, Corporate Device Identifiers are used for pre-declaring known Corporate Owned devices, prior to enrolment.

Configure Corporate Device Identifiers

Note – Corporate Identifiers support both IMEI and Serial Numbers as a form of unqiue identifier. Endpoint Manager also provide the function to bulk upload identifiers using a CSV file.

From the home dashboard, navigate to Devices > Enrol Devices > Corporate Device Indentifiers.

Select ‘Add’ button.

Select ‘Enter Manually’.

In this example, Serial Number will be used as the chosen unique identifier.

Select ‘Serial Number’ from the Select identifier type drop down box.

It is possble to locate the serial number for an iOS/iPadOS device from the Settings app:

  1. Open the Settings app
  2. Select General > About
  3. Scroll down to find ‘Serial Number’

Once the serial number has been obatined, input this alphanumeric numerber into the text field in the column designated ‘Identifier’.

Next, provide details about the device, for example:

John Doe – iPhone SE 1st Gen

Select ‘Add’ button to finish.

You will see the Corporate Identifier ready for use.

Group Type: Security
Group Name: Marketing Devices
Group Description: Group for Marketing devices.
Azure AD roles can be assigned to the group: No
Membership Type: Dynamic Device
Owners: No

Select ‘Add Dynamic Query’

Within the query builder, we configure the query values as below:

Property: deviceCategory
Operator: Equals
Value: Marketing (Friendly name given to your device category in Endpoint Manager)

Clicking away from the query builder, we can see Azure AD automatically translates your configuration values into a Rule Syntax.

The Rule Syntax should look identical to this: (exception of the value between quotation marks is unique to your device category friendly name)

(device.deviceCategory -eq “Your_Device_Category_Name”)

Select the ‘Save’ button to save the dynamic query.

Select the ‘Create’ button to build the Azure AD dynamic group.

Once created, you will see Marketing Devices Azure AD dynamic group appear in the list ready for use.

See in Action

During enrolment to Endpoint Manager, Company Portal app will request the user select a device category from the list provided.

In this example, the Marketing device category is selected in order to demonstrate an Azure AD dynamic group at work.

Once enrolment has been completed, the Azure AD dynamic group triggers an evaluation of the tenant against criteria set in the dynamic rule syntax. If the evaluation finds a device matching the criteria, that device is automatically added as a member of the group.

We can see our iPhone is now a member of the Marketing Devices group.
