Get-AutopilotDevice() - the issue with space(s) in the serial number

[najki78]

Hello Andrew,
I have dealt with the same issue recently (it is on Microsoft side) and since the trick with '[uri]::EscapeDataString($serial)' does not work unfortunately, the solution was to do it in two parts:

# get all the devices with the same (up to a first space) serial number 
$SerialWithoutSpace = $serial.split(" ")
$uri = "https://graph.microsoft.com/$graphApiVersion/$($Resource)?`$filter=contains(serialNumber,'$($SerialWithoutSpace[0])')"

and then to filter the device with the exact serial number:

$devicesResponse.value | Where-Object {$_.serialNumber -eq "$($serial)"}

I've just updated to v3.7 which adds your fix. I've added some logic around it to it checks for spaces first.
Can you see if that works any better? I don't have any devices with spaces in the serials to test with
Thank you

Hello Andrew,
wow, that was super fast! Thank you.
I have just tested (my lab VMware virtual machines have spaces in the names) and I would suggest one small change:
Instead of
$devices = $response.value
to replace by

if ($serialhasspaces -eq 1) {  
     $devices = $response.value | Where-Object {$_.serialNumber -eq "$($serial)"}
} else {
     $devices = $response.value 
}

Well spotted, added on 3.8
