Blog post - Use PowerShell for reading Intune Management Extension logs

MVP

Wrote a blog post on how to read the Intune logs using PowerShell, https://powershellisfun.com/2022/09/12/read-intunemanagementextension-logs-using-powershell/, this is the script for it, and yes... I think I need to learn Regex 🙂 

 

 

 

#Function for reading the Intune Management Extension log

    param (
        [Parameter(Mandatory = $true)][string]$Filepath

        try {
            $time = (Select-String 'time=(.*)' -InputObject $line).Matches.groups[0].value.split('"')[1]
        }
        catch {
