Get Windows Update Compliance Report

This script inventories the tenant's Windows Update configuration and its deployment health: update rings (Windows Update for Business configurations) with per-device success and error status, feature update profiles with their target version and end-of-support date, expedited quality update profiles, and driver update profiles. It flags rings with device errors, feature update targets approaching end of support, and profiles without assignments.

// REQUIRED PERMISSIONS

Microsoft Graph scopes

DeviceManagementConfiguration.Read.All

Allows the app to read properties of Microsoft Intune-managed device configuration and device compliance policies and their assignment to groups, without a signed-in user.

Running this as an Azure Automation runbook? These scopes must be granted to the account's managed identity, which has no portal UI. The deployment walkthrough shows the exact Cloud Shell commands.

    Get Windows Update Compliance Report

.SYNOPSIS
    Reports Windows Update deployment state: update rings with per-device status, feature update profiles, quality and driver update profiles.

.DESCRIPTION
    This script inventories the tenant's Windows Update configuration and its
    deployment health: update rings (Windows Update for Business configurations)
    with per-device success and error status, feature update profiles with their
    target version and end-of-support date, expedited quality update profiles, and
    driver update profiles. It flags rings with device errors, feature update
    targets approaching end of support, and profiles without assignments.

.EXAMPLE
    .\get-windows-update-compliance-report.ps1
    Reports update rings, feature updates, quality and driver update profiles

.EXAMPLE
    .\get-windows-update-compliance-report.ps1 -EndOfSupportWarningDays 120 -ExportToCsv
    Flags feature update targets within 120 days of end of support and exports to CSV

.NOTES
    - Requires Microsoft.Graph.Authentication module
    - Update rings are deviceConfigurations of type windowsUpdateForBusinessConfiguration; per-device status comes from each ring's deviceStatuses
    - This reports deployment state from Intune's perspective; per-device patch level detail lives in Windows Update for Business reports (Log Analytics)
    - Uses beta Graph endpoints because feature/quality/driver update profiles are not exposed on v1.0
    - Local interactive sign-in uses the MgGraphCommunity module to avoid the Graph SDK's mandatory WAM broker on Windows

  1. Endpoint Analytics Report

    This script connects to Microsoft Graph API (beta) and retrieves Endpoint Analytics data from Intune. It collects metrics across multiple categories including device startup performance, application reliability, battery health, work from anywhere readiness, and overall device scores. Results are exported to CSV and HTML formats for analysis and reporting purposes.

    MonitoringReporting
  2. Get App Assignment Conflicts

    This script analyzes every Intune app's assignments and reports conflicts that produce unpredictable install behavior: the same app targeted with required and uninstall intent, the same group both included and excluded on one app, and the same group receiving the app with different intents. Group names are resolved so the report is directly actionable. These conflicts commonly appear after mergers of app deployments or copy-pasted assignment changes and are hard to spot in the portal.

    Reporting
  3. Application Installation Status Report

    This script connects to Microsoft Graph, retrieves all managed applications and their installation status across all devices, and generates detailed reports in both CSV and HTML formats. The report includes installation state (installed, pending, failed, not applicable), error codes, device details, and summary statistics to help identify and troubleshoot application deployment issues.
