Event details
10 years ago, we had full control of Windows devices on our network. Anything we needed to do, anything we wanted to know was 100% possible in PowerShell, as well as other well-documented tools, native and 3rd-party.
Today with Azure, no so great. It feels like the 90's with the amount of control we have natively, without 3rd-party tools.
We cannot remote to a device without the user present.
We cannot bulk rename based on specific conditions.
We cannot use WinRM or WMIC to do live queries of hardware or software.
We have to use MS Graph, which for me is a poorly documented tool, to get only some of the info we are used to receiving.
Perhaps it's me coming from the Novel world into NT 3.5 just 30 years ago, or just not being as up to speed on Azure/Intune as I should be.
Whatever the reason is, it sure would be great if we could utilize the skillsets we know well, to do the things we are used to doing, to keep good control over our devices.
Thoughts?

MicrosoftHi Jaime Alexander. Your question is more or less along the same lines as that posted by Dylan Gould and thus my answer is similar (or the same really).
- Jason, may I DM you?
- Jason_SandysYes, please. I'm open to having a deeper conversation on this for sure.
- So what I read, is that these are built-in to Windows, but we can't manage them from Intune without special config/conditions that aren't written about anywhere. That sounds like the Graph product. Considering these limitations on manageability, how is the Intune product even considered ready-for-prime-time?
