Introduction
In large IT environments, built-in Intune reports might not suffice for your needs. To address this issue, we will show you how to use Microsoft Graph API to extract, schedule, and visualize Intune device and compliance data.
Prerequisites
- Active Azure subscription with app registration and delegated permissions
- PowerShell scripting knowledge
- Power BI for data visualization
Step 1: App Registration and Permissions
Register an app in the Azure portal, grant it necessary delegated permissions for Intune.
Step 2: Using Graph API to Pull Intune Reports
Use PowerShell scripts to call Microsoft Graph API endpoints and retrieve Intune device and compliance data.
Step 3: Scheduling Automated Exports with PowerShell
Schedule PowerShell tasks to run the scripts at specific intervals, exporting the reports automatically.
Step 4: Visualizing Intune Data in Power BI
Import the generated data into Power BI for analysis and visualization purposes.
Common Graph API Errors and How to Fix Them
- Error: Access denied: Verify that your app has proper permissions, and the user running the script is an Intune admin or assigned appropriate roles.
- Error: Insufficient privileges to complete the operation on behalf of the user: Check if the service principal account used in the app registration has been granted sufficient privileges.
