Intune-PowerShell-SDK

This repository contains the source code for the PowerShell module which provides support for the Intune API through Microsoft Graph.

This project welcomes contributions and suggestions. Most contributions require you to agree to a Contributor License Agreement (CLA) declaring that you have the right to, and actually do, grant us the rights to use your contribution. For details, visit https://cla.microsoft.com.

When you submit a pull request, a CLA-bot will automatically determine whether you need to provide a CLA and decorate the PR appropriately (e.g., label, comment). Simply follow the instructions provided by the bot. You will only need to do this once across all repos using our CLA.

This project has adopted the Microsoft Open Source Code of Conduct. For more information see the Code of Conduct FAQ or contact [email protected] with any additional questions or comments.

Getting started

One-time setup (PowerShell Gallery)

1. Install the Microsoft.Graph.Intune module from: https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/Microsoft.Graph.Intune

   PowerShell
   Install-Module -Name Microsoft.Graph.Intune
   

One-time setup (GitHub)

1. Download the module from the Releases tab in the GitHub repository.
2. The "drop\outputs\build\Release\net471" folder in the zip file contains the module.
   • If you are using Windows, extract the "net471" folder. You must have .NET 4.7.1 or higher installed.
3. The module manifest is the "Microsoft.Graph.Intune.psd1" file inside this folder. This is the file you would refer to when importing the module.
4. Import the module:

   PowerShell
   Import-Module $sdkDir/Microsoft.Graph.Intune.psd1
   

Before this module is used in your organization

An admin user must provide consent for this app to be used in their organization. This can be done with the following command:

PowerShell
Connect-MSGraph -AdminConsent

Each time you use the module

To authenticate with Microsoft Graph (this is not required when using CloudShell):

PowerShell
Connect-MSGraph

To authenticate with Microsoft Graph using a [PSCredential] object: ```PowerShell

1. Create the PSCredential object

$adminUPN = Read-Host -Prompt "Enter UPN" $adminPwd = Read-Host -AsSecureString -Prompt "Enter password for $adminUPN" $creds = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential ($adminUPN, $adminPwd)

2. Log in with these credentials

Connect-MSGraph -PSCredential $creds ```

To authenticate in a non-standard environment: ```PowerShell

1. Setup the environment

For example, in a National Cloud environment, the following is required before logging in

Update-MSGraphEnvironment -AuthUrl 'https://login.microsoftonline.us/common' -GraphBaseUrl 'https://graph.microsoft.us' -GraphResourceId 'https://graph.microsoft.us' -SchemaVersion 'beta'

2. Log in

Connect-MSGraph

3. Use the cmdlets

NOTE: If the schema version has been changed to something other than "v1.0" as in the above

"Update-MSGraphEnvironment" command, only "Invoke-MSGraphRequest" should be used to make calls,

because the standard cmdlets (e.g. "Get-IntuneMobileApp") have been generated based on the

"v1.0" schema, and can produce unexpected results when used with other schema versions

Invoke-MSGraphRequest -HttpMethod GET -Url 'deviceAppManagement/mobileApps' ```

Discovering available commands

Get the full list of available cmdlets:

PowerShell
Get-Command -Module Microsoft.Graph.Intune

Get documentation on a particular cmdlet:

PowerShell
Get-Help 

Use a UI to see the parameter sets more easily:

PowerShell
Show-Command 

Example usage

Retrieving objects

Get all Intune applications:

PowerShell
Get-IntuneMobileApp

Get all Intune device configurations:

PowerShell
Get-IntuneDeviceConfigurationPolicy

Get all Intune managed devices:

PowerShell
Get-IntuneManagedDevice

Get a filtered list of applications and select only the "displayName" and "publisher" properties: ```PowerShell

The filter string follows the same rules as specified in the OData v4.0 specification.

Filter string construction rules: http://docs.oasis-open.org/odata/odata/v4.0/errata03/os/complete/abnf/odata-abnf-construction-rules.txt

Get-IntuneMobileApp -Select displayName, publisher -Filter "isof('microsoft.graph.webApp')" ```

Creating objects

Create a web application:

PowerShell
$bingWebApp = New-IntuneMobileApp -webApp -displayName 'Bing' -publisher 'Microsoft Corporation' -AppUrl 'https://www.bing.com'

Modifying objects

Update the web application that we created in the 'Creating objects' section:

PowerShell
$bingWebApp | Update-IntuneMobileApp -webApp -displayName 'Bing Search'

Deleting objects

Delete the web application that we created in the 'Creating objects' section:

PowerShell
$bingWebApp | Remove-IntuneMobileApp

Calling functions and actions

Lock a managed device: ```PowerShell

Get a device to lock

$allDevices = Get-IntuneManagedDevice $deviceToLock = $allDevices[0]

Lock this device

$deviceToLock | Invoke-IntuneManagedDeviceRemoteLock ```

Tips and Tricks

• Create TimeSpan objects using the New-TimeSpan cmdlet
• Create DateTime or DateTimeOffset objects using the Get-Date cmdlet
• If a parameter accepts an "Object" rather than a more specific type, use the documentation to identify what type of object it requires. For example, if the documentation says that a parameter represents a property of type "microsoft.graph.mobileApp" or "microsoft.graph.deviceConfiguration", use the "New-MobileAppObject" or "New-DeviceConfigurationObject" cmdlets to create the respective objects.

Notable features

• Standard PowerShell objects are used for input/output, meaning that all built-in PowerShell features/utilities/tricks work, including:
  • Piping of objects between cmdlets
  • Formatting of output:

    Format-Table

    ,

    Out-GridView

    ,

    ConvertTo-Csv

    ,

    ConvertTo-Json

    , etc.
  • Getting help on usage:

    Get-Help

  • Visualizing input parameters:

    Show-Command

  • Using the 'tab' key to auto-complete or cycle through available options
• Documentation which is available in the schema is injected into the cmdlet documentation
• Auto-complete and validation on Enum parameters as well as some query parmeters (i.e. $select, $expand and $orderBy)
• Utility cmdlets for some common tasks
  • Getting the authentication token:

    Connect-MSGraph

  • Getting service metadata:

    Get-MSGraphMetadata

  • Paging:

    Get-MSGraphNextPage

    and

    Get-MSGraphAllPages

  • Changing environment settings, e.g. Graph schema version:

    Update-MSGraphEnvironment -Schema beta -AppId 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000

  • Make arbitrary Graph calls using the

    Invoke-MSGraph

    cmdlet
• The PowerShell module can be generated for any valid Graph schema

Known issues and workarounds

• Importing the

  MSOnline

  cmdlets before importing this

  Intune

  module will cause errors. Please use the

  AzureAD

  module instead, as the

  MSOnline

  module is deprecated.
  • If you absolutely must use the

    MSOnline

    module, it should be imported AFTER the

    Intune

    module. Note, however, that this is not officially supported.
• If downloaded from Github, the file "Microsoft.Intune.PowerShellGraphSDK.dll" may be blocked when a release is first downloaded. This will stop the assembly from correctly loading (and you will see an error message if you try to import the module).

  PowerShell
  Dir -Recurse $sdkDir | Unblock-File
  

• Cmdlets in this module are generated based on the "v1.0" version of the Graph schema. In order to access functionality in the "beta" schema you must change the schema version using the command below. However, note that only the

  Invoke-MSGraphRequest

  cmdlet should be used to make calls to Graph. This is because the difference in entities/properties between "beta" and "v1.0" (the schema that most cmdlets were generated from) can result in unexpected behavior.

  PowerShell
  Update-MSGraphEnvironment -SchemaVersion 'beta'
