* experimental

This is a script I wrote to change from the package owner, which only gives you the ability to manage the device policy in Intune, to an AD/AAD user, which gives you the ability to manage policies for both user and device. So, perform the bulk enrollment, and then run this script with your data.txt file. All devices showing Package as the owner will be updated with the specified user.

Code

Clear-Host

$ErrorActionPreference= 'silentlycontinue'

$item = $null
$line = $null

foreach($line in Get-Content C:\INTUNE\Data.txt) {
foreach ($item in $line)
{
$item = $line -split (",")
$DeviceName = $item[0]
$UserName = $item[1]

$x = Get-AzureADDevice -SearchString $DeviceName | Select Name -ExpandProperty ObjectId
$y = Get-AzureADUser -SearchString $UserName | Select Name -ExpandProperty ObjectId

Write-Host "Username: $UserName ::: $y"
