Renaming a device manually is quick and easy when we only have one device to fix. But when it comes to doing a large number of devices, then it is better to automate this action. Today, there is the method via CSP but which can have a rather random behavior, in particular on the reporting, console side. I therefore share with you a PowerShell script which, deployed with Microsoft Intune, will allow you to quickly rename your machines. Script overview This script detects the type of device used:  If it's a virtual machine , it takes the defined prefix  (CCMT in my example)  and adds a numeric complement generated with Get-Random command For physical machines , it retrieves the serial number and adds the prefix  (CCMT in my example) The user is informed that his device has received changes and that it will restart automatically in a few minutes. The script is available on Github :  Link Script integration & deployment Prerequisites The prerequisites are: Conve...

Windows Sandbox provides a lightweight desktop environment to safely run applications in isolation. Software installed inside the Windows Sandbox environment remains "sandboxed" and runs separately from the host machine. A sandbox is temporary. When it's closed, all the software and files and the state are deleted. You get a brand-new instance of the sandbox every time you open the application. Note, however, that as of Windows 11 Build 22509, your data will persist through a restart initiated from inside the virtualized environment useful for installing applications that require the OS to reboot. Software and applications installed on the host aren't directly available in the sandbox. If you need specific applications available inside the Windows Sandbox environment, they must be explicitly installed within the environment.
