It doesn't affect the *Management name* in Intune or the *Device name* shown in the Company Portal. Renaming helps you keep names consistent across your inventory—for example, aligning names with asset tags, user roles, or location-based identifiers.
+
+You rename a single device from its **Properties** tab, or rename multiple devices at once by using **Bulk Device Actions**.
+
+## Supported platforms
+
+Rename is supported on:
+
+- Android Enterprise corporate-owned Fully Managed (COBO), Dedicated (COSU), and Corporate-Owned Work Profile (COPE)
+- iOS/iPadOS in [Supervised mode](/en-us/intune/intune-service/remote-actions/device-supervised-mode)
+- macOS (corporate-owned)
+- Windows (corporate-owned)
+
+Note
+
+- **Android Enterprise**: Renaming changes only the **Device name** in the admin center, not the name on the device. This friendly name is one that users can change. It can take 10 minutes or more for a renamed device to update in the **Devices** list.
+- **Windows**: Renaming Microsoft Entra hybrid joined devices from Intune isn't supported. To rename hybrid joined devices, use domain-based methods outside Intune.
+- **iOS/iPadOS**: If you use an enrollment profile with a Device Name Template, the device is renamed but reverts to the template after the next sync with Intune.
+
+## Rename a single device
+
+1. Sign in to the [Microsoft Intune admin center](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2109431) and select [**Devices**](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2109431#view/Microsoft_Intune_DeviceSettings/DevicesMenu/%7E/overview) > [**All devices**](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2109431#view/Microsoft_Intune_DeviceSettings/DevicesMenu/%7E/allDevices).
+2. From the devices list, select a device.
+3. Select the **Properties** tab, and then select **Edit**.
+4. Update the device name. The allowed characters depend on the platform:
+    - **Windows**: 63 characters or fewer (excluding trailing NULL); not null or empty; letters (a–z, A–Z), numbers (0–9), and hyphens; Unicode characters ≥ 0x80 must be valid UTF-8 and IDN-mappable; names can't be only numbers; no spaces; and these characters aren't allowed: `{ | } ~ [ \ ] ^ ' : ; < = > ? & @ ! " # $ % ( ) + / , . _ *`
+    - **iOS/iPadOS and macOS**: Letters, numbers, and hyphens. The name must contain at least one letter or hyphen.
+    - **Android**: Letters, numbers, and hyphens.
+5. For Windows, to restart the device after renaming, set **Restart after rename** to **Yes**.
+6. Save your changes.
+
+## Bulk rename devices
+
+You can rename devices in bulk by platform, using **Bulk Device Actions**. Bulk rename follows the same naming rules as a single rename, but you must include one of the following variables in the name:
+
+- `{{serialnumber}}` — adds the device's serial number to the name.
+- `{{rand:x}}` — adds a random string of numbers, where *x* is the number of digits.
+
+To bulk rename devices:
+
+1. In the [Microsoft Intune admin center](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2109431), select [**Devices**](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2109431#view/Microsoft_Intune_DeviceSettings/DevicesMenu/%7E/overview) &gt; [**All devices**](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2109431#view/Microsoft_Intune_DeviceSettings/DevicesMenu/%7E/allDevices).
+2. Select **Bulk Device Actions**.
+3. On the **Basics** page, select the **OS** of the devices you want to rename, and for **Device action** select **Rename**.
+4. Complete the configuration wizard.
