From the Publisher

How is Microsoft Intune Cookbook different from other resources on Microsoft Intune?

The book covers the full Intune deployment through easy-to-follow recipes so that admins at any level can create and manage a tenant.

Unlike other sources on the topic, this book concentrates heavily on the automation of each step to enable the reader to complete the tenant configuration directly at the API level using Microsoft PowerShell and Microsoft Graph. By learning how to manipulate the API, readers can automate environment management and free up valuable IT admin time.

How does this book help demystify the initial setup process that many consider so daunting?

Intune can look quite straightforward at first glance due to its intuitive UI, but configuring a reliable tenant is a complicated process that needs to be carefully considered and deployed.

This book starts from a blank tenant and runs through each step, demonstrating how to configure each available setting including the Microsoft Entra configuration for users, groups, and roles. Once you have mastered the UI configuration, you can then move on to the API settings to better comprehend exactly what is happening when settings are configured and how this can be used to extend the platform’s capabilities.

How has your professional experience helped you write this book?

I’ve spent most of my career in the end-user computing domain, witnessing the introduction of many technological advancements.

As an early user of both PowerShell and Intune, I’ve been able to combine this knowledge to better understand the Graph API and manipulate it. I’ve also deployed and managed numerous tenants for organizations of varying sizes, which has helped me gain all-round knowledge of the platforms.

Who can benefit the most from the recipes in this book?

This book is useful for anyone on their Intune journey, from beginners who want to learn how to set things up for the first time to professionals with experience at the UI level seeking to take their knowledge a step further to look at API and automation. I’ve written this book to appeal to anyone using the platform.
