The Why I often find the need to gather and extract data from various areas M365 for auditing or for project planning. I had the idea of putting together a PowerShell module containing wrapper functions for some of the most common reports I and colleagues ask for. I wanted to make the commands easy to discover and easy to use. I would like to introduce the M365.Report.Tools PowerShell module! What can it do?

I am proud to introduce the PowerShell module IntuneEndpointTools. This is the first PS module I have published to the PowerShell gallery. IntuneEndpointTools contains a set of tools for managing and diagnosing Intune MDM on Windows endpoints designed with Intune support staff in mind. Easily perform diagnostic/troubleshooting operations such as getting the MDM diagnostic report, full diagnostic package, forcing a full sync to Intune, forcing reprocessing of assigned applications, and more!

The Why In a previous article , I demonstrated how to deploy applications to Intune using WinGet . I recieved a request to demonstrate how to use WinGet to update applications, and more importantly, how to run this on a schedule to keep applications updated. Since then, I found a really handy PowerShell wrapper module for WinGet called WinGetTools by Jeffrey Hicks . I made a small contribution to this module to allow it to work running under SYSTEM context.

Problem signs Outlook refuses to load, or a sign in window loops, opening and closing quickly. Outlook refuses to connect or send / recieve mail. The Windows store refuses to open. These are the initial symptoms I have seen when the AAD token broker ‘breaks’ for lack of a better term. Event ID 1098 will be logged repeatedly in the Microsoft-Windows-AAD/Operational event log. The fix Microsoft has a couple troubleshooting articles on event 1098 Event 1098 Cannot Create New Profiles and Event 1098 Error 0xcaa5001c .
