Hi
I have a question on how to identify Mobile Devices on Exchange.
As it is now we have several users which have 5-8 mobile devices, but have trouble when the devices are being replaced or discarded. How do we identify the device being replaced/discarded in exchange
I have also tried using powershell, bu i am not able to get any info which i can uniquely identify the device.
If the user has two identical Ipad's its impossible to know which device to wipe or delete.

Ok, I see what you are saying. YEa, Device reporting kinda blows.

The Outlook app is a little different and creates a new ID tied to the application

The deviceID is unique. You can tell by last sync time if its still being used.
Get-MobileDeviceStatistics -Mailbox <user> |FL *deviceid*, *lastsync*

Hi.
Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited | ForEach {Get-ActiveSyncDeviceStatistics -Mailbox:$_.Identity | fl} | export-csv "ASyncDevices.csv"
Get-MobileDeviceStatistics -Mailbox [email protected] | fl deviceid, identity
Remove-ActiveSyncDevice -Identity "old deviceID"
or
you can use Microsoft mobile application management (MAM), if you have many devices.

Thanks for the answer. This helped as i can use the lastsync to identify the devices that dont have synced, and identify to identify the device in the AD.
But unfortunately this information is not always enough, as this is not enough information to uniquely identify the device that i want to wipe/delete.
Is there a property that i can fetch with powershell that i can see on the device itself, if i go in the device settings . A serialnumber or something simular. A unique identifier for that device, and not just in the AD
Regarding MAM, we are planning on using Intune, but i have to find a solution to identify devices until then.

Hi Andy
I used a user which i knew only had one device, and on his device (IPhone) i tried to find the DeviceID, but was not able to find it. Where on the device should i find this ID? In this case a IPhone.
Get-MobileDeviceStatistics -Mailbox username | ft deviceid, *lastsync*, *Model*, identity
DeviceID LastSyncAttemptTime DeviceModel Identity
(id replaced with X) XXXVXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX 19-10-2016 11:49:31 iPhone6C2 mydomain.local/......
(id replaced with X) XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX 19-10-2016 11:54:35 Outlook for iOS and Android mydomain.local/......
