Making Intune notifications smarter by using a Copilot agent

by

This week is all about making Intune notifications smarter by using a Copilot agent. Agents enable organizations to extend to capabilities of Microsoft 365 Copilot in new ways, by customizing the Copilot experience to fit their needs. Those agents can be connected to specific organization knowledge and data sources. Besides that, those agents can also be used for automating and executing business processes. That basically means that those AI-driven agents can be used to perform a wide variety of tasks, including automating repetitive tasks, providing insights and supporting users. And those users include IT administrators. For Intune notifications that means that an agent can help with gathering information, making it presentable, and directly providing IT administrators with actionable steps to address the trigger of the …

Monitoring Windows Autopilot deployments with Azure Logic Apps and Adaptive Cards for Teams

This week is another follow-up on the last couple of weeks. The last couple of weeks the focus was on monitoring the status of the different connectors, certificates and tokens, while this week the focus is on monitoring deployments. More specifically, on monitoring Windows Autopilot deployments. Especially when dealing with many (remote) Windows Autopilot deployments, it can be useful to retrieve some deployment triggers without constantly having to check the Microsoft Endpoint Manager admin center. That can help with getting a good feeling about the stability and with getting triggered when users deal with failed Windows Autopilot deployments (as not all users call IT about failures). This post walks through the main components that are required to query Windows Autopilot deployment status information in Microsoft …

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

by

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. This post will provide a look at using Azure Logic Apps for querying Microsoft Intune (via Microsoft Graph) and posting the results in Microsoft Teams. That’s an awesome combination for automating administrative tasks and triggering IT administrators to perform actions. 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 …
