MDM Bulk Pre-Enrollment Tool
Question:
We've ordered several hundreds of PDA's (HTC Touch HD) and are about to enroll these.
I wanted to enroll these devices through the bulk Pre-Enrollment tool.
But:
We've labeled each device already with a unique name, and I want the devices to have the same name in MDM
Not all users are in the same OU in the AD
I am not a Domain AdministratorLooks to me this tool might not come in handy for me, anyone agrees?
Or are there other ways to enroll several hundreds of devices?Kind regards,
Hans Noordhuis

There are always ways and means. ;-)
Unique Device Name ? What format is this list ? If this is based on user "noordhuh01" etc then you can use Bulk Enrolment.
I guess you have a list of users ?! When you get the final list... Create yourself a Global Group an add all the users too that group and build a Bulk enrolment request based on that Group.
If the Unique Device Name is in a format that cannot be used with Bulk Enrollment, then you can always use the New-EnrollmentRequest Powershell command. ;-)
That's one enrolment command per device... which sounds like a bit of work… but can automated!
You can easily create a list of batch commands using Microsoft Excel. Export that to a csv format, Open in Notepad, use Find-Replace to remove commas “,”… hey presto.. you have a script. Rename the extension to PS1 and you have a Powershell script. Copy to mdm server and run !I hope that makes sense.

- Wayne,
Thanks, I did not think of that one.
It does makes sense, I'll give it a try today....
Kind regards,
Hans Noordhuis - Wayne,
Your idea made me happy.
Created a csv, exported it to a txt etc....
Renamed it and it worked!
Thanks chap!
