Resetting the auto incrementing counter in an enrollment rule?

MK

When creating an enrollment rule we have several options for naming the devices ("Configure Device Name").

One option is the "Auto Incrementing Numbered Sequence" as in e.g. DEVICE %AUTONUM%

Is there any way to reset the counter used for the auto incrementing number?

The use case would be having tested the rule with a device, removing that device from SOTI and wanting any further enrollments (to the same now empty target device group) to start from "DEVICE 00001".

I suppose creating a new rule from scratch might do the trick(?)

Hi Markus K.

Thank you for posting on SOTI Pulse

I'm not entirely clear on your requirement, but if you're trying to avoid having your devices receive a new device auto-numbered name after unenrollment and re-enrollment (e.g., the first time it was 001, and after re-enrollment, it became 002),
you can try toggling on the "Preserve Device Name on Re-enrollment" option on the enrollment policy

Is this what you're trying to achieve,

Or else if it is to a new group then you can try creating another rule for the same

Let me know if that helps or if you need further clarification.
