Import corporate identifiers into Intune
How to prepare and import corporate identifiers into Intune safely, with duplicate checks and clear progress feedback.
Bulk imports are easiest when you validate your identifiers first and keep a record of what you attempted to upload.
You can also import device lists from CSV/XLSX (beta) into the Admin dashboard and then upload the filtered set to Intune.
Use a pre-check to skip identifiers that already exist, then upload the remaining set.
Key points
- Validate formatting before upload
- Import CSV/XLSX (beta) for faster bulk entry
- Check existing identifiers first
- Keep an import summary for auditing
