Device(s) already enrolled before the naming pattern change in the add-devices rule will not be renamed automatically according to the new naming pattern.

Device(s) newly enrolled after the naming pattern change in the add-devices rule will be named based on the new naming pattern.   If auto-numbering is used as part of the naming pattern, then device may not start from 00001 if the naming pattern has been used by any add-device rule(s) in the past to get some device(s) enrolled.

Hello Fisch, 

Thank you for requesting a response from SOTI Support Staff.

From what I have witnessed the device is using the most current configuration of the ADR, however, I tested this on AE.

Raymond is correct in that already enrolled devices will not update unless you explicitly change the name of the device.

Although this is the case, new devices are obtaining the most up to date configuration and therefore are updating accordingly.

I can imagine SOTI MobiControl would most likely use the original information if the original .ini file is being used, I would have to test this to confirm if that's the case. 

Is your installation A+ or AE?

Regards,

In this case the devices are enrolled using the AE agent and yes the original mcsetup.ini file was used. I understand the devices already enrolled wont update their names but I am actually specifically asking about devices that have not yet been enrolled... Would they enroll using the name set in the older mcsetup.ini file or would they update to the correct name based on the Add Device Rule?

Hello Fisch,

Following up on this thread, were you able to resolve the issue? If yes, I would like to know what were the steps taken to resolve the issue and I can mark that as a Solution.

If not, the answer would be it will name the devices which are newly enrolled as per the updated Enrollment rule.

Also, if this post has helped you in solving your inquiry, I would request you to mark the particular comment as "is solution", so others may benefit from this information.
