Scripts that travel together.
Picked by shared tags, category, and script type — nothing magic, just metadata overlap.
Get Policy Drift Report
This script takes a baseline folder created by backup-intune-configuration.ps1 and compares the tenant's current state against it: settings catalog policies (full setting bodies), classic device configuration profiles, and compliance policies. Policies are matched by object ID, and their configuration is compared as normalized JSON with volatile properties (timestamps, versions) removed. The report shows policies that were added, deleted, or modified since the baseline, making unreviewed configuration drift visible for change control.
MonitoringGet Outdated iOS Devices Report
Connects to Microsoft Graph and retrieves Intune-managed iOS devices, including their assigned user and last check-in date. Devices with an iOS major version lower than the older of the two supported major releases are exported to a timestamped CSV file. The supported major versions can be updated by parameter when Apple releases a new major version.
MonitoringApple Token Validity Checker
This script connects to Microsoft Graph and retrieves all Apple Device Enrollment Program (DEP) tokens and Apple Push Notification Certificates configured in Intune. It checks their validity status, expiration dates, and sync status to help administrators proactively manage Apple Business Manager integrations. The script generates detailed reports in CSV format, highlighting tokens and certificates that are expired, expiring soon, or have sync issues.
