Get Firewall and ASR Status

This script inventories all endpoint security policies (settings catalog policies with an endpoint security template plus legacy security intents) and reports the coverage per discipline: firewall, attack surface reduction, antivirus, disk encryption, EDR, and account protection. It flags disciplines with no assigned policy and lists unassigned endpoint security policies. Combined with the device count this shows whether the tenant's Windows fleet actually has firewall and ASR enforcement or just unassigned policy objects.

DeviceManagementConfiguration.Read.All

Allows 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.

DeviceManagementManagedDevices.Read.All

Allows the app to read the properties of devices managed by Microsoft Intune, 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
    Get Firewall and ASR Status

.SYNOPSIS
    Reports endpoint security policy coverage for firewall, attack surface reduction, and antivirus across the tenant.

.DESCRIPTION
    This script inventories all endpoint security policies (settings catalog policies
    with an endpoint security template plus legacy security intents) and reports the
    coverage per discipline: firewall, attack surface reduction, antivirus, disk
    encryption, EDR, and account protection. It flags disciplines with no assigned
    policy and lists unassigned endpoint security policies. Combined with the device
    count this shows whether the tenant's Windows fleet actually has firewall and ASR
    enforcement or just unassigned policy objects.

.EXAMPLE
    .\get-firewall-and-asr-status.ps1
    Shows endpoint security policy coverage per discipline

.EXAMPLE
    .\get-firewall-and-asr-status.ps1 -ExportToCsv
    Exports the coverage report to a timestamped CSV file

.NOTES
    - Requires Microsoft.Graph.Authentication module
    - Endpoint security policies are settings catalog policies whose templateReference.templateFamily starts with endpointSecurity; template family filtering happens client-side because the server-side filter is unreliable on this surface
    - Legacy endpoint security intents (deviceManagement/intents) are included for older tenants
    - Coverage means at least one assigned policy per discipline; per-device applicability is not evaluated
    - Uses beta Graph endpoints because settings catalog templates and intents are exposed there
    - Local interactive sign-in uses the MgGraphCommunity module to avoid the Graph SDK's mandatory WAM broker on Windows

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. FileVault 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.
