Introduction

In this article, we will outline the steps required to setup a User Migration survey to allow the end-users to select their main device from a list of devices currently linked to their profile.



Step 1 - Create the custom field in the User Migrations

In this example, a custom field has been created within Administration ->User Migration->Discovery form(1).


The custom field can be created within any of the custom forms.

  • Click New Field to add in the Customfield.
  • Click Save Changes.
  • Make a note of the Field id of the custom field – e.g 2437

Step 2 - Create the PowerShell Script

  • Switch to Administration -> User Migrations –> PowerShell Scripts.
  • Copy the following script and ensure the field id is amended to match the id noted in the previous step.

## Get Ids from Script Args

$userId = $ScriptArgs.items[0]

$deviceId = $ScriptArgs.AltItems[0]

## Get Hostname of selected Device

$hostname = Get-MSDevices -DeviceIds $deviceId | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Hostname -First 1

##Save Hostname to a Custom Field

Update-MSUserMigrationsCustomFields -FieldId 2437 -FieldInstanceId $userId -DataValue $hostname

  • Click Save Changes.
  • Make a note of the PowerShell script id. E.g 30
