Linux enrolling to mobicontrol using install.sh

Solved

Thiwanka Wimalasuriya

I enrolled few linux based devices to soti mobicontrol using the "Enrollment URL" 

The devices are getting added as the default naming convention. Linux%AUTONUM% ( Linux 00001, Linux 00002 , ... ) as expected.
 
I also noted we can change this using few other variables  ( %AUTONUM% %IP% %MACADDRESS% %PLATFORM% %MANUFACTURER% )
 
Is there a way to pass a custom variable to the install.sh script , so that the name will appear as the same. Practical purpose is to easily find the devices by the user. 
 
Is there any developer guide available from soti regarding linux device enrolling,

Hi Thiwanka,

Alternative way would be using legacy script to re-name the device which is devrename "new_name_of_your_device"

I just tested it on ubuntu and it worked as below:

sending this as legacy --> devrename "Ubuntu 20.0.4_new_name"

For bulk operations to update multiple device names or automate it you may either use custom data or custom attibute; the syntaxt is:

Rename using Custom Data:          devrename %MCCustomData:CustomdataName%

Rename using Custom Attribute:  devrename %CustomAttr:attribute_name%

You can see more information about how to use custom data on SOTI Pulse or on soti help page. Regarding the custom attributes; you can also change your device(s) name in one shoot by uploading an excel list. If this works for you, you can find the steps to update your devices name here: SOTI Discussion Forum

Starting from below section step-1:

I hope it helps. Thank you
