Below is the syntax of the New-AzureADDevice PowerShell command.

New-AzureADDevice
   -AccountEnabled <Boolean>
   -AlternativeSecurityIds 
-DeviceId <String>
-DisplayName <String>
-DeviceOSType <String>
-DeviceOSVersion <String>

Let’s discuss an example of how to use the New-AzureADDevice PowerShell command.

Example-1

You can use the below PowerShell command to create a device named “TsInfo device”.

$key = [System.Text.Encoding]::Unicode.GetBytes("X509:<SHA1-TP-PUBKEY><Thumbprint>")
     $altsecid = New-Object -TypeName PSObject -Property @{

     'Key' = $key
     'Type' = "2" }

$guid = New-Guid
New-AzureADDevice -AccountEnabled $true -DisplayName "TsInfo device" -AlternativeSecurityIds $altsecid -DeviceId $guid -DeviceOSType "OS/2" -DeviceOSVersion "9.4"

After executing the above PowerShell command, I got the below-expected output.

ObjectId                             DeviceId                             DisplayName
