Making Intune notifications smarter by using a Copilot agent

Notifying about Intune audit logs with Azure Logic Apps and notifications in Teams

This week is all about notifying about Intune audit logs by using Azure Logic Apps and notifications in Teams. That means no new technology but using technology in a different way.

Simplifying repetitive administrative tasks by using low-code solutions: An overview

This week my post is a few days later, as my post is an extension of the session of me and Pim Jacobs at the Nordic Virtual Summit Third Edition. At the virtual summit we did a session about Simplifying repetitive administrative tasks by using low-code solutions​.

Monitoring Apple MDM push certificate with Azure Logic Apps and Adaptive Cards for Teams

This new year starts again with something completely new. That means, some of the technology hasn’t be part of any of the posts on this blog before.

The idea of this post is to show the power of that combination and to show the simplicity to automate administrative tasks. This post provides a simple example that will query status information about the Apple MDM push certificate in Microsoft Intune and posts that information in an adaptive card in a Microsoft Teams chat, when action is …
