Download Intune PowerShell scripts with Graph Explorer

This quick post will show an easy method to fetch your PowerShell scripts after you have uploaded them using the Intune management portal. Unfortunately, the portal does not provide a UI to download the script content as soon as you hit that save button. Graph Explorer to the rescue There are multiple ways to do this using PowerShell scripts.

Microsoft 365 self-service using Power Apps

This article was originally posted on the Microsoft 365 PnP Blog. I was inspired by this post from Loryan Strant, that used Microsoft Forms to add users to an Azure AD group so that they were upgraded to Windows 11. With that in mind, I created a mock-up and posted it on Twitter. Based on the reactions, I added this idea to my ToDo list. Fellow MVP Albert-Jan Schot also replied, and I asked him if he would like to…

Install Windows Package Manager (winget) using Intune

Microsoft released a preview of the Windows Package Manager. I’m not going into detail about the product itself, because there are a lot of (better) alternatives for this already in the market.

Manage Teams custom backgrounds using Intune

Update! I got some feedback on this blog. Seems that if your users are not members of the local administrator group, install will faill with error: 0x80070001. I’ve updated the article to solve this problem. I replaced the cmd files for Powershell scripts and did some minor changes to the detection and uninstall scripts.
