Creating a rule for Intune device locations?


I am trying to set rules up for Intune devices as we are having issues with location mapping. Our devices are not in any groups which causes Incident IQ to set the default location as unassigned. Even if we go through and manually change the locations, the sync will kick it back to unassigned. Currently I am trying to test a rule where if a device’s location is updated, then the rule will assign the correct location. So I manually updated a device’s location and sure enough the rule worked. However, after a sync, Microsoft Intune “updates” the asset and the rule doesn’t work. I figured that since the location field is being “updated” the rule should work. I even changed the rule to work when the location equals unassigned and still doesn’t work.  Am I missing something here? I appreciate any ideas!

Do you want iiQ to handle all the location updating? What might work is go to Apps>Manage>Intune, then Location Mappings tab. At the top, where you see “default location”, switch that to None and see if that does the trick.

@AMeyer Greendale Schools I think you just saved my sanity! It looks like that did the trick. I was initially worried that the app might take precedence over any written rules, but it looks like it doesn’t! Thank you!!!

@AThao 38030ce jacksonschoolsga in MOST cases, the app does indeed precedence. I’ve been spending a LOT of time exploring user & device location updating lately so it’s still fresh in my mind.

If you’ve had an overnight sync and your changes have stuck, then, congrats! I think you win.

Glad I could help :)
