Windows Device Name not matching Soti Device Name

We are brand new to Soti and wondering if there is a way to automatically populate the Windows Device Name of a Laptop in the Soti MobiControl (Device Name)

Right now every new laptop we add just shows up as Windows 1, Windows 2, Windows 3, etc.

Seeing the laptops have a Device Name set, can't Soti populate those in MobiControl?

At the moment we have to manually rename each Windows 1, Windows 2, Windows 3 laptop in MobiControl to match the Windows Device Name.

Suggestions are welcome.
Thanks!

Hi Felix,

Thank you for posting in SOTI Central.

Can you confirm that you're using Windows Modern or Windows Desktop Classic?

Regards,

In your MobiControl web-console, edi the Add-Devices Rule you use to enroll your Windows device, go to the "Device Name" tab and change the Device name pattern from "Windows %AUTONUM%"  to "%PERSONALIZED_DEVICE_NAME%".
