How Copilots Work: LLM Architecture, Grounding, and Intune

11. December 20235. May 2026 jannikreinhard

In this blog post I want to deep dive with you into how LLMs and CoPilots work, give explanations of the most important aspects, and show you some important architecture aspects and concepts. We will not build our own Copilot, but I will also share some reference architectures and a tool I created to answer your questions with information from your own Intune tenant. Let me know if I should also create a second blog post to walk you step by step through the process of implementing your own bot, which uses your own data and an LLM model to help you in your daily business working with Intune.

The easy way to make data science with Intune

Data Science with Microsoft Intune — Quick Start

26. November 20235. May 2026 jannikreinhard

This is a Quick Start to Data Science with Microsoft Intune. The post walks through how to pull Intune data into a notebook, do meaningful exploratory analysis on devices, apps, and compliance, and turn the result into something an admin team can actually act on.

As you know I like everything what is related to data science and Intune. In this blog I will show you a solution how you can get some insights about your Intune environment you did not have before.

Detect new Intune Management Extension Updates

12. November 20235. May 2026 jannikreinhard

You know there are regular changes and updates on the Intune Management Extension (IME). Sometimes it can be the cause of issues, or it is also interesting to see what was changed. To detect these changes I wrote a script which notifies you in case of a change and will let you know what was changed.

Azure Monitor Agent to monitor Windows devices (1/2) – Setup

30. July 20235. May 2026 jannikreinhard

In this blog post we want to have a closer look into a way to collect data from client systems to monitor them. With endpoint analytics Microsoft provides a very powerful way to analyze clients, remediate potential issues or also detect anomalies in the field. If you are interested in unaggregated and more detailed data to build custom solutions then the Log Analytics management agent is the right solution for you. This is the first part of a small series with two parts. In this part we will check how this service works and how to set it up, and in the other part how you can work with the data.

Export Intune Data to OneLake for Power BI with Fabric

16. July 20235. May 2026 jannikreinhard

Intune provides a lot of data that can be exported via interfaces, which is also the foundation for Intune reporting and analytics. But wouldn’t it be cool if you could have everything from the data export to the Power BI dashboard in one place in a portal and additionally query the data Graph provides you with via SQL to build complex queries. That’s exactly what Microsoft Fabric delivers. In this blog we would like to take a closer look at this new platform.

V2 – Get an daily device report via email or teams with logic apps – Step by Step guide

V2 – Get a Daily Device Report via Email or Teams with Logic Apps (Step by Step)

28. May 20235. May 2026 jannikreinhard9 Comments

I have already written a blog about how to send a message using Logic apps to generate a regular device report. After a presentation about automation with Intune and Graph I got good feedback if I can do a variant with Co Managed devices. So I decided to write a V2 of this blog and also update the authentication with Managed Identity. If you are interested in more blogs around the topic of logic apps, let me know and I will be happy to do a deep dive on logic apps.

Mastering Intune Reporting and Analytics

In this new blog post I want to give you an overview of how you can start with reporting analytics with Intune. I already wrote several blogs on how to create custom reports via mail or Teams, and how to export and automate things. I also wrote a blog with an overview of the analytics capabilities of Intune. In this post I want to take a step back and give you an overview of how to start with this topic and which capabilities Intune offers.

In today’s blog, I will address a question from one of our community members, who is looking to create a report for tracking Windows 11 upgrades via Azure Automation Runbook and Microsoft Intune. He has tried to gather enrolled devices details using a runbook but hasn’t found a solution yet. In this post, we will demonstrate how to generate a report on Windows 11 upgrade tracking with Intune and Azure Automation.

Building an Intune AI Voice Bot with Azure OpenAI

23. April 20235. May 2026 jannikreinhard

This post documents building an Intune AI voice bot with Azure OpenAI. The bot listens to a help-desk-style spoken question, queries Microsoft Graph for the user’s Intune device state, and answers — out loud — with the relevant policy or compliance information.

In today’s blog, I will announce the release of our experimental AI-driven voice assistant for Microsoft Intune-related questions. As you know, I am a huge fan of automation and AI technologies. I teamed up with Fabian Peschke to develop this innovative voice bot that aims to help users with their Intune questions.

Our voice bot is built using two different Microsoft cognitive services: Azure Speech Services and OpenAI’s GPT-35 Turbo. The Azure Speech Services allows the bot to recognize and synthesize speech, while OpenAI’s engine enables the bot to understand and respond to user queries intelligently. This bot was developed based on this example from Microsoft.

Automate Intune Tasks with Azure Automation Runbooks

9. April 20235. May 2026 jannikreinhard1 Comment

As you all know I am a very very big fan of automation. The good thing is in almost all Microsoft products there are interfaces to do exactly that. This is also the case for Intune. In one of my last blogs I wrote about how to use PowerShell to automate things in Intune. I also mentioned Azure Automation. In this blog I want to go deeper into the topic and explain how you can use Azure Automation to automate recurring processes.
