Device Name Settings

License: Silver

A default device name configuration enables you to create a new configuration that gets pushed down to the device at the registration or post-registration level and allows the device naming. The admin can define default device names for supervised iOS 8 devices only. You can use the following variables to construct the device name:

• Device Serial Number
• Device IMEI
• Device Model
• Ivanti Neurons for MDM Username (local users only)
• LDAP Organizational Unit (OU)
• LDAP Common Name (CN)

For example, you would enter ${deviceSN}-${userOU} for device names that begin with the device serial number and end with the user's organization as defined in LDAP.

Device Name Settings (Android)

The Android device name can be retrieved by the Go app. When the admin generates the Device Details report, the actual device name, the actual device name is shown rather than the device model or manufacturer's name. In case the user changes the device name, the new name will be shown the next time the report is generated. The respective device name can be viewed under Devices > Settings > Device Name.
