Download the ADAM Tool Here: https://github.com/adamwhiles/Azure-Device-Group-Assignment-Management-Tool/releases If you have been using Intune for any amount of time, you have probably found a need at some point to find out what Intune applications, configuration profiles, etc. are assigned to a specific Azure AD group. I have found myself in this position many times and unfortunately Microsoft does not offer any built in ability to do this. Really, your only option is to go through ever app, profile etc....

One of the noticeable drawbacks when moving from Config Manager (SCCM) to Intune is the lack of device collections based on software installed on endpoints. Like many other things in Intune, this can be overcome with a bit of creativity and PowerShell scripts. There are multiple ways you could go about this but the way I am going to show you involves running a PowerShell script on your devices that will check if the software you are looking for is installed and if it is, the script will add the machine to the Azure device group of your choice....

If you have been using redirected desktops or some form of mandatory profile in your on-prem Active Directory environment using GPO, you may ask yourself how you will manage desktop icons and shortcuts in Intune? This was a question I faced myself, how can we easily control what icons and shortcuts a user see’s on their desktop of fully Intune managed devices? It’s actually not that hard thanks to the work of Florian, who runs the scloud blog....

However, in some cases, this wasn’t possible because the devices were not running Windows at the time, which was the case for my organization. We wanted to use Autopilot when converting from the old Linux solution to the new Windows Azure AD/Intune solution. To do this, we needed an automated solution for collecting the hardware hash and importing it into Intune....

Intune makes a lot of things really easy, but some things are just easier with GPO. Adding or changing registry keys for the current user in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER hive is one of the things that was far easier with GPO than it is in Intune. I’m really going to miss the days of OnPrem AD, OU’s, and GPO’s. Sad times we live in, or maybe I’m just old and frustrated with Microsoft....
