Microsoft Intune continues to evolve with powerful new features aimed at improving endpoint security and management. Here’s a breakdown of the latest updates:
🔹 New Intune Icon
A refreshed icon aligns with Microsoft’s modern security branding, symbolizing a unified approach to endpoint management.
🔹 Hotpatch for EPM (Endpoint Privilege Management)
Reduce system reboots while keeping endpoints secure. Hotpatch allows critical updates without disrupting workflows.
Command to check Hotpatch status (Windows):
Get-HotFix | Select-Object HotFixID, InstalledOn, Description
🔹 Autopatch Enhancements
Smarter patch deployment with improved compliance tracking and reduced downtime.
Verify Autopatch compliance via PowerShell:
Get-MgDeviceManagementAutopilotEvent -DeviceId <DeviceID> | Select-Object DeploymentProfileName, LastContactTime
🔹 macOS Management Improvements
Enhanced controls for macOS devices, including better app deployment and security policies.
List enrolled macOS devices via Intune API (Graph):
curl -X GET "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/deviceManagement/managedDevices?$filter=operatingSystem eq 'macOS'" -H "Authorization: Bearer <TOKEN>"
You Should Know:
1. Enforcing Conditional Access with Intune
Ensure only compliant devices access corporate resources.
PowerShell to enforce Conditional Access:
New-MgIdentityConditionalAccessPolicy -DisplayName "Require Compliant Devices" -State "enabled" -Conditions <ConditionsObject>
2. Monitoring Intune Device Compliance
Track non-compliant devices using Graph API:
curl -X GET "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/deviceManagement/deviceCompliancePolicySettingStateSummaries" -H "Authorization: Bearer <TOKEN>"
3. Deploying PowerShell Scripts via Intune
Automate tasks by pushing scripts directly to endpoints:
$ScriptContent = Get-Content -Path "C:\DeployScript.ps1" -Raw New-DeviceManagementScript -DisplayName "Security Hardening" -ScriptContent $ScriptContent
4. Windows Defender Integration
Sync Defender policies with Intune for unified security:
Set-MpPreference -AttackSurfaceReductionRules_Ids <RuleIDs> -AttackSurfaceReductionRules_Actions Enabled
