# Cleanup Autopilot Devices Scheduled

### Description

This scheduled runbook performs regular maintenance of Windows Autopilot device registrations by identifying and removing orphaned devices whose serial numbers no longer match any Intune managed device, and optionally removing never-enrolled Autopilot devices that exceed a configurable age threshold. The runbook operates in WhatIf mode by default for safe reporting, and can optionally send an email summary with CSV and/or Excel (xlsx) attachments listing the devices that would be or were deleted. The report files can also be uploaded to an Azure Storage Account, returning time-limited download links. The ReportFileFormat parameter controls which file formats are generated and delivered (CSV only, CSV & XLSX, or XLSX only). When the CSV attachment exceeds the email size limit and "CSV & XLSX" is selected, the email falls back to the Excel workbook alone.

### Setup regarding email sending

Sending an email report is optional and only happens when a recipient (`EmailTo`) is provided. The sender address is taken from the `RJReport.EmailSender` tenant setting.

This runbook sends emails using the Microsoft Graph API. To send emails via Graph API, you need to configure an existing email address in the runbook customization.

See the [RealmJoin Report Settings documentation](https://docs.realmjoin.com/automation/runbooks/runbook-report-settings) for details.

### Parameters

#### DeleteMode

Controls what the runbook does with the identified cleanup candidates. "WhatIf (report only)" performs no deletion and only reports the candidates (default, safe). "Delete Autopilot device" removes the Autopilot device identities. "Delete Autopilot and Entra device" removes the Autopilot identities and the matching Entra (Azure AD) device objects, which would otherwise remain as stale records.

| Property      | Value                |
| ------------- | -------------------- |
| Required      | false                |
| Default Value | WhatIf (report only) |
| Type          | String               |

#### GroupTagFilter

Comma-separated Autopilot group tags to limit the cleanup scope. Matched exactly (case-insensitive). Leave empty to process all Autopilot devices regardless of group tag.

| Property      | Value  |
| ------------- | ------ |
| Required      | false  |
| Default Value |        |
| Type          | String |

#### ManufacturerFilter

Comma-separated device manufacturers to limit the cleanup scope. Matched as case-insensitive substrings, so "Dell" matches "Dell Inc.". Combined with the other filters using AND. Leave empty to process all manufacturers.

| Property      | Value  |
| ------------- | ------ |
| Required      | false  |
| Default Value |        |
| Type          | String |

#### ModelFilter

Comma-separated device models to limit the cleanup scope. Matched as case-insensitive substrings, so "Surface" matches "Surface Laptop 3". Combined with the other filters using AND. Leave empty to process all models.

| Property      | Value  |
| ------------- | ------ |
| Required      | false  |
| Default Value |        |
| Type          | String |

#### ExcludeSerialNumbers

Comma-separated serial numbers to exclude from the cleanup. Matched exactly (case-insensitive). Any device whose serial number is in this list is removed from scope regardless of the other filters. Leave empty to exclude nothing.

| Property      | Value  |
| ------------- | ------ |
| Required      | false  |
| Default Value |        |
| Type          | String |

#### CleanupOrphanedDevices

When enabled, removes Autopilot devices that have contacted Intune in the past but whose serial number is no longer found among Intune managed devices (the managed device record was deleted).

| Property      | Value   |
| ------------- | ------- |
| Required      | false   |
| Default Value | True    |
| Type          | Boolean |

#### OrphanedLastContactedDays

Age threshold in days for orphaned devices. An Autopilot device is only treated as orphaned when its last contact with Intune was more than this number of days ago and its serial is no longer present in Intune. This prevents removing devices that contacted Intune recently.

| Property      | Value |
| ------------- | ----- |
| Required      | false |
| Default Value | 90    |
| Type          | Int32 |

#### CleanupNeverEnrolledDevices

When enabled, removes never-enrolled Autopilot devices (devices that never contacted Intune).

| Property      | Value   |
| ------------- | ------- |
| Required      | false   |
| Default Value | False   |
| Type          | Boolean |

#### NeverEnrolledAgeDays

Age threshold in days for never-enrolled devices. Measured on the Device creation date.

| Property      | Value |
| ------------- | ----- |
| Required      | false |
| Default Value | 90    |
| Type          | Int32 |

#### EmailTo

Optional email recipient address for the cleanup summary report. Leave empty to only write results to the runbook log.

| Property      | Value  |
| ------------- | ------ |
| Required      | false  |
| Default Value |        |
| Type          | String |

| Type          | String |

#### ReportFileFormat

Controls which report file formats are generated and delivered: "CSV only", "CSV & XLSX" (default) or "XLSX only".

| Property      | Value      |
| ------------- | ---------- |
| Required      | false      |
| Default Value | CSV & XLSX |
| Type          | String     |

#### CreateDownloadLink

If enabled, the report files are uploaded to an Azure Storage Account and time-limited download links are returned. Disabled by default.

| Property      | Value   |
| ------------- | ------- |
| Required      | false   |
| Default Value | False   |
| Type          | Boolean |

#### ContainerName

Storage container name used for the upload. Configured per runbook (not a global RJReport setting).

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.realmjoin.com/automation/runbooks/runbook-references/org/devices/cleanup-autopilot-devices_scheduled.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
