Microsoft Intune is a powerful cloud-based tool for managing endpoints, but automation can save admins countless hours. Below, we dive into practical scripts and KQL queries to streamline Intune operations.
You Should Know:
1. Fetching Intune Devices with PowerShell
Use this PowerShell script to retrieve all Intune-managed devices:
Install the Microsoft.Graph module if not already present Install-Module Microsoft.Graph.Intune -Force -Scope CurrentUser Authenticate to Microsoft Graph Connect-MgGraph -Scopes "DeviceManagementManagedDevices.Read.All" Get all Intune-managed devices $devices = Get-MgDeviceManagementManagedDevice | Select-Object deviceName, operatingSystem, lastSyncDateTime Export to CSV $devices | Export-Csv -Path "IntuneDevices.csv" -NoTypeInformation
2. KQL Query for Defender Threat Detection
For Microsoft Defender logs in Azure Sentinel, use this KQL query to detect suspicious sign-ins:
SecurityAlert | where ProviderName == "Microsoft Defender ATP" | where AlertName contains "Suspicious" | project TimeGenerated, AlertName, CompromisedEntity, Severity | sort by TimeGenerated desc
3. Automating App Deployment in Intune
Use PowerShell to package and deploy Win32 apps:
Package the app as .intunewin .\IntuneWinAppUtil.exe -c "C:\AppSource" -s "Setup.exe" -o "C:\Output" Upload to Intune via Graph API $appPath = "C:\Output\App.intunewin" $uploadUri = "https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/deviceAppManagement/mobileApps" Invoke-MgGraphRequest -Method POST -Uri $uploadUri -InFile $appPath -ContentType "application/octet-stream"
4. Monitoring Conditional Access Failures
This KQL query helps track authentication failures due to Conditional Access policies:
SigninLogs | where ResultType == "53003" | summarize FailedAttempts = count() by UserPrincipalName, AppDisplayName | sort by FailedAttempts desc
What Undercode Say:
Automation in Intune and Defender is no longer optional—it’s a necessity. By leveraging PowerShell and KQL, IT admins can:
– Reduce manual workload
– Detect threats faster
– Deploy applications seamlessly
– Monitor compliance efficiently
Expected Output:
- A CSV file listing all Intune-managed devices (
IntuneDevices.csv) - Real-time alerts for suspicious Defender activities
- Automated Win32 app deployment logs
- A summarized report of Conditional Access failures
Prediction:
As cloud management evolves, expect deeper AI integration in Intune, such as automated remediation scripts and predictive threat analysis using KQL. Admins who master these tools will lead in efficiency and security.
