Is it possible to change the Network Device Name Of Android Device (Zebra TC21) with Soti Mobicontrol ?

this is for the device to be recognized for network printing.

Hi,

I used StageNow to change the name.
when i use the script to verify the name it shows the IP address of the device.

Hello Cedric

Greetings for the day!!

Thanks for your post to Soti central!!

If you are trying to rename device with its Host name then firstly you can try  by going  under  that device action   and try to rename with host name by using %HOSTNAME% macro and there are some other list of macro mentioned for your assistance.

 https://soti.net/mc/help/v14.1/en/console/reference/dialogs/agents/devicenamingmacros.html

If it does not work then kindly try to use the following script showmessagebox "Your device's Hostname is %HOSTNAME%" and see what is getting displayed on device side, is it coming with hostname.

Since this is a zebra device so you can also try to use stage now instruction to set up a profile to execute this

I found out that it depends on which Android version Zebra is installing. In Android 10, we can easily change the name but it's more complicated in earlier versions.

But it's not "HOSTNAME".
