In IGEL Setup would be the easiest way:


On each device?


Well, that would be the way from the endpoint. What are you trying to achieve exctly?


i guess @member is looking for:

kb.igel.com/endpointmgmt-6.06/en/device-network-settings-37282597.html#DeviceNetworkSettings-AdjustNamesofDevices


Just want each device to have its asset ID number rather than the UMS assigned one. No big deal if I have to go into each device,


Ok, that‘s another story then. Where is the Asset ID coming from on your side?


@member i still think he renames the devices in the UMS (so far so good) but the hostname on the device does not make that change. am i getting this right @member ? if not, then i let it go 😉


hmm, when I change the name in UMS, by right-clicking on the device and selecting rename, I will then click save and then do a UMS to device to push all the settings and such. That works 99% of the time for me.


Asset ID comes from a spreadsheet, renaming the device does not change it on the device, as if I look in Citrix it has the UMS name.
