Check Certificate Profile Expiry
This script inventories all certificate-related configuration profiles (SCEP, PKCS, and trusted certificate profiles) across platforms, reports their validity period settings and assignment state, and pulls per-profile deployment status to surface devices where certificate delivery is failing. For trusted certificate profiles it decodes the embedded root certificate and reports its actual expiry date, catching root or issuing CA certificates that will silently break SCEP enrollment when they lapse.

DeviceManagementConfiguration.Read.AllAllows the app to read properties of Microsoft Intune-managed device configuration and device compliance policies and their assignment to groups, without a signed-in user.
Running this as an Azure Automation runbook? These scopes must be granted to the account's managed identity, which has no portal UI. The deployment walkthrough shows the exact Cloud Shell commands.

.TITLE
Check Certificate Profile Expiry
.SYNOPSIS
Audits SCEP, PKCS, and trusted root certificate profiles: validity settings, deployment errors, and root certificates nearing expiry.
.DESCRIPTION
This script inventories all certificate-related configuration profiles (SCEP,
PKCS, and trusted certificate profiles) across platforms, reports their validity
period settings and assignment state, and pulls per-profile deployment status to
surface devices where certificate delivery is failing. For trusted certificate
profiles it decodes the embedded root certificate and reports its actual expiry
date, catching root or issuing CA certificates that will silently break SCEP
enrollment when they lapse.

.EXAMPLE
.\check-certificate-profile-expiry.ps1
Audits all certificate profiles with a 90-day expiry warning window
.EXAMPLE
.\check-certificate-profile-expiry.ps1 -ExpiryWarningDays 180 -ExportToCsv
Uses a 180-day warning window for embedded root certificates and exports to CSV
.NOTES
- Requires Microsoft.Graph.Authentication module
- Individual issued device certificates are not exposed via Graph; this script audits the profiles, their embedded CA certificates, and delivery status
- Trusted certificate payloads are decoded locally to read the real certificate expiry
- Uses beta Graph endpoints for the device configuration surface
- Local interactive sign-in uses the MgGraphCommunity module to avoid the Graph SDK's mandatory WAM broker on Windows

Scripts that travel together.
Picked by shared tags, category, and script type — nothing magic, just metadata overlap.
BitLocker Key Storage Checker
This script connects to Microsoft Graph API, retrieves all Windows devices from Intune, and checks if each device has BitLocker recovery keys stored in Entra ID. The script provides detailed reporting on compliance status, identifies devices without stored keys, and exports comprehensive results to CSV format for further analysis. This helps ensure proper BitLocker key escrow for data recovery scenarios.
MonitoringSecurityFileVault Key Storage Checker
This script connects to Microsoft Graph API, retrieves all macOS devices from Intune, and checks if each device has FileVault recovery keys stored in Intune. The script provides detailed reporting on compliance status, identifies devices without stored keys, and exports comprehensive results to CSV format for further analysis. This helps ensure proper FileVault key escrow for data recovery scenarios.
MonitoringSecurityCheck XProtect and Security Status
This script retrieves the current versions of macOS security components including XProtect, XProtect Remediator, and MRT (Malware Removal Tool). Additionally, it checks the status of critical security features like System Integrity Protection (SIP), Gatekeeper, and FileVault. Results are formatted for Intune custom attributes to provide comprehensive visibility into device security posture.
