XenMobile Server Current Release

Device name device policy

You can set the names on supervised iOS and macOS devices so that you can easily identify the devices. You can use macros, text, or a combination of both to define the device’s name. For example, to set the device name as the serial number of the device, you have to use ${device.serialnumber}. To set the device name as a combination of the user’s name and your domain, you have to use ${user.username}@example.com. For more information about macros, see Macros in XenMobile.

To add or configure this policy, go to Configure > Device Policies. For more information, see Device policies.

For example, use ${device.serialnumber} to set the device names to each device’s serial number, or use ${device.serialnumber} ${ user.username } to include the user’s name in the device name.
