Powershell - Change Intune Application Assignments
Hello, I'd like to bulk-edit a number of my Intune Win32 assignments. I've got ~30 applications to go through, but I've noted their AppIDs so it would be worth the time investment to find a working Powershell script to run this without having to manually edit each one. Below runs through Elevated Powershell without error, so I'd thought it was successful. Unfortunately nothing changes and assignments remain the same. I've cut down the number in this script and edited tenant-based ID's but practically-speaking this runs through fine. Can anyone advise? I'm new to powershell and basically relying on AI to help make them, or the occasional forum post I can find. # Install the Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK if not already installed Install-Module Microsoft.Graph -Scope CurrentUser -Force # Import the Device Management module Import-Module Microsoft.Graph.DeviceManagement # Connect to Microsoft Graph Connect-MgGraph -Scopes "DeviceManagementApps.ReadWrite.All" # Retrieve all mobile apps $allApps = Get-MgDeviceAppManagementMobileApp # Filter for Win32 apps $win32Apps = $allApps | Where-Object { $_.'@odata.type' -eq '#microsoft.graph.win32LobApp' } # List of specific app IDs to target $specificAppIds = @( "ba5988e8-4hhe-4e99-9181-ff85ce589113", "d49dk602-5e02-4af3-b09c-d98d8edac8fb" ) # Filter the Win32 apps to only include the specific apps $targetApps = $win32Apps | Where-Object { $specificAppIds -contains $_.Id } # Define group IDs $requiredGroupId = "57ce1fb3-5f94-4287-8f0b-e2ed595ac900" # Replace with your actual required group ID $uninstallGroupId = "aq7a3571-7f71-4deb-8f81-289dfe38a2e6" # Replace with your actual uninstall group ID # Loop through each target app and update the assignment foreach ($app in $targetApps) { # Get the current assignments $assignments = Get-MgDeviceAppManagementMobileAppAssignment -MobileAppId $app.Id # Define the new assignments $requiredGroupAssignment = @{ "@odata.type" = "#microsoft.graph.mobileAppAssignment" target = @{ "@odata.type" = "#microsoft.graph.groupAssignmentTarget" groupId = $requiredGroupId } intent = "required" } $uninstallGroupAssignment = @{ "@odata.type" = "#microsoft.graph.mobileAppAssignment" target = @{ "@odata.type" = "#microsoft.graph.groupAssignmentTarget" groupId = $uninstallGroupId } intent = "uninstall" } # Add the new assignments to the existing assignments $updatedAssignments = $assignments + $requiredGroupAssignment + $uninstallGroupAssignment # Update the app assignments Update-MgDeviceAppManagementMobileAppAssignment -MobileAppId $app.Id -BodyParameter $updatedAssignmentsSecurity Copilot Skilling Series

Partner Intune reporting questions
I need some help for my global partner- SHI International. We have a monthly services modernization briefing with the SHI M365 practice team. They have a need around 1-2 Q&A deep-dive sessions where their team of M365 experts want to ask some in=depth technical and pre-sales related questions related to Intune Reporting Challenges and Customer Pain Points, Current Intune Reporting Limitations, Technical Barriers to Reporting, Permissions and Consent Model Confusion, Feedback on Documentation and User Experience. Appreciate any guidance on a PSA SME on this topic or a global black belt, that would be great. Appreciate if you can point me to the latest updated documentation on this topic. I reached out to several folks in the PSA team with no luck yet. Thanks!
