Create Azure AD Dynamic Group for Model Type | Helpful Quick Guide

Nathan (moderator) / / Filed Under: Azure, Azure AD Dynamic Group Rule, Intune, wmic get model /


This blog post will outline how to create an Azure AD Dynamic Group for different device model types such as Dell, HP, Hyper-V Virtual Machine and Vmware Virtual Machines. I hope this blog post can provide assistance, and be a helpful quick guide. To deploy specific applications, BIOS updates or settings to a particular hardware model in Intune, manually added devices to Azure AD groups is not practical. This is especially true for companies that have thousands of devices and many hardware models. In addition, installing VMware Tools or configurations for Hyper-V VMs are common needs for IT admins.

The first task that needs to be performed is running the wmic command to gather the correct model name as listed within WMI. We can gather this information from a command line prompt using the below WMIC syntax.

Intune Hybrid Domain Join Error 80180005

Microsoft has released a new feature in Intune called “Intune Connector for Active Directory” which currently is a preview release feature. This feature is used to join devices to the on-premise Active Directory domain (using ODJ – Offline Domain Join) and the Azure AD tenant within Intune, during Autopilot device enrollment. This creates a Hybrid domain joined scenario for client devices to process local group policy and be managed by Intune. This is particularly useful as many customers have on-premise services such as, group policy, mapped network drives and printers that must authenticate from the local AD domain controllers. While testing this feature in my lab and working with a customer, I have seen “Server Error Code 80180005” or “Error code 80070774” on client devices. It turns out in my experience, this error was occurring because the computer name prefix was incorrectly configured.

List of Microsoft Azure Management URLs

Most people are already familiar with the well know website list of Microsoft Azure management URLs. Microsoft has additional, Azure standalone Management websites for items such as “Preview” and “Intune Only”.

So, I thought it would be good to share these additional newly discovered website URLs. The list of Microsoft Azure Management URLs come in handy when you want to view a subset of information without other clutter. This should make life easier when you want to look at Azure cloud management services and avoid building a custom Dashboard in the Azure Portal.
