How to Automate Cross-OS File Fixes with Azure Automation and PowerShell
Build a serverless file fixer in Azure using Automation, PowerShell, Blob Storage, and Event Grid. Learn how to set up the necessary resources, configure permissions, and automatically detect and correct cross-OS file issues—such as CRLF vs LF line endings and file permission mismatches. This streamlined approach saves time and eliminates manual fixes, ensuring smoother, error-free workflows for developers working across different operating systems.
Event Grid for Intune?
Hi! I have an app (TOPdesk) where I am currently trying to integrate with Intune. I have learned that Azure has Event Grids and I can use this to fire off PowerShell Runbooks to execute a PS script which will then send off an HTTP request to connect to my app. The question that came to mind is whether it's possible for Event Grids to listen in to activities from Intune? Basically, I was thinking that whenever a new device is created, the Event Grid can help trigger a runbook to send off a HTTP request to connect to the app. Unfortunately, I have no access to Intune and Event Grid so I cannot confirm this myself. Any insight or alternatives will be appreciated! Thanks!
Azure Automation Runbooks using Powershell: Push notifications error?
I'm trying to run some PnP PowerShell commands in an Azure Runbook (e.g. Get-PnPContentType, Apply-PnPProvisioningTemplate, etc. ) over a SharePoint site, but it keeps returning the error below: The Push Notifications feature is not activated on the site The correct modules have been imported and it only errors on some commands. Running the commands in a PowerShell window with the same credentials doesn't produce any errors, and activating the 'Push Notifications' feature manually and retriggering the Runbook won't produce any error output, but will say that the Runbook failed to run 3 times.
