Intune add devices to group by SN

[ADMaster]

I'm sure there is a cleaner solution out there, but I want to give a starting point for those in a similar situation.

Here is a work around to add several ipads all called ipad to a azure ad group.

 

Please vote up the feature to do this easier here.

I exported a list of devices from the web gui into csv

filtered out the devices I needed and put the devicesids into a variable

used get-azureaddevice to get the objectid based on the device ids

the used add-azureadgroupmember on the results.

 

I only needed this for 10 devices so did it by hand, but I'm sure the SNs could be put into a variable then the rest done with import-csv.

 

Are there any commands I've missed that would allow me to pull devices direct from powershell by SN?

 

Any tips on this welcome.
