Get VPP License Report
This script reads all Apple Volume Purchase Program tokens and VPP apps (iOS and macOS) from Intune and reports used versus total licenses per app, highlighting apps above a configurable utilization threshold. VPP token state and expiration are included because an expired token silently breaks app installs. Use it to buy licenses before users hit "installation failed" and to catch tokens that need renewal.

.TITLE
Get VPP License Report
.SYNOPSIS
Reports Apple VPP app license utilization and flags apps and tokens that are close to exhaustion or expiry.
.DESCRIPTION
This script reads all Apple Volume Purchase Program tokens and VPP apps (iOS and
macOS) from Intune and reports used versus total licenses per app, highlighting
apps above a configurable utilization threshold. VPP token state and expiration
are included because an expired token silently breaks app installs. Use it to
buy licenses before users hit "installation failed" and to catch tokens that
need renewal.

.EXAMPLE
.\get-vpp-license-report.ps1
Reports all VPP apps with their license utilization
.EXAMPLE
.\get-vpp-license-report.ps1 -WarningThresholdPercent 80
Flags apps that have used 80 percent or more of their licenses
.EXAMPLE
.\get-vpp-license-report.ps1 -ExportToCsv
Exports the license report to a timestamped CSV file
.NOTES
- Requires Microsoft.Graph.Authentication module
- Tenants without Apple VPP (Apps and Books) configured will report no tokens and no apps
- License counts come from the iosVppApp and macOsVppApp usedLicenseCount / totalLicenseCount properties
- Uses beta Graph endpoints because VPP app license properties are exposed there
- Local interactive sign-in uses the MgGraphCommunity module to avoid the Graph SDK's mandatory WAM broker on Windows

Get App Assignment Conflicts
This script analyzes every Intune app's assignments and reports conflicts that produce unpredictable install behavior: the same app targeted with required and uninstall intent, the same group both included and excluded on one app, and the same group receiving the app with different intents. Group names are resolved so the report is directly actionable. These conflicts commonly appear after mergers of app deployments or copy-pasted assignment changes and are hard to spot in the portal.
AppsReportingApplication Installation Status Report
This script connects to Microsoft Graph, retrieves all managed applications and their installation status across all devices, and generates detailed reports in both CSV and HTML formats. The report includes installation state (installed, pending, failed, not applicable), error codes, device details, and summary statistics to help identify and troubleshoot application deployment issues.
AppsReportingApplication Inventory Report
This script connects to Microsoft Graph, retrieves all managed devices and their installed applications, and generates detailed reports in both CSV and HTML formats. The report includes application details, installation status, version information, and summary statistics across the entire device fleet.
