Tutorials and guides on IT admin tools and open source utilities by Microsoft MVP Jannik Reinhard — covering custom helpers, GPT-powered troubleshooters, Intune Toolbox, and other open-source utilities for endpoint admins.
I currently attend at the MMS Fort Lauderdale conference, where an attendee asked a good question: Is it possible to convert a device group into a user group, and vice versa? The answer is both yes and no. While there’s no out-of-the-box functionality in Intune to achieve this directly, it is possible by leveraging the Microsoft Graph API.

In this short blog I want to show you how you can use GPT to get a summarization of the Intune Management Extension log. This script will read the Intune Management Extension Log file in the ProgramData/Microsoft/IntuneManagementExtension/Logs folder and will pass the latest content of the log to GPT.
As GPT and other large language models revolutionize the way we communicate and how we can build custom solutions for companies, the demand for intuitive frontends to deliver these AI capabilities to end-users has never been higher. If you’re wondering whether there’s a seamless way to integrate a bot into Microsoft Teams, you’re in luck! In this blog, I’ll guide you through the process of developing and deploying your own custom bot tailored for Microsoft Teams and the bot framework from Microsoft.

I wrote a lot of blogs about AI solutions, utilizing e.g. Azure OpenAI. But I want to take you on a journey of how you can build your own apps and websites. In this post I will show you how to build your customized solution with the help of two very powerful frameworks. One is Streamlit and one is Chainlit.
Both provide an interface for a Chat experience, but both have a different design (technical and visual).

This post introduces the new and Updated Intune Group Assignment Script. The original was useful but limited; the New version of the Intune Group Assignment Script supports dynamic groups, scope tags, exclusion assignments, and a much cleaner CLI for use in pipelines.
A few months ago I released a script which lists you all assignments of a Microsoft Entra ID group in intune. With this blog post I will release a new version of this script which includes more configuration objects and improves a lot of the code parts.
In this blog I would like to introduce you to my new System Information Tool. The System Information Tool is a software that displays various system information, such as the serial number, IP address, username and logged-in user, and many more. It also provides functions for troubleshooting and analysing problems with Intune Management and Intune Management Extension. In addition, custom scripts for self-service support can be added and provided to the user. The tool is thus a useful resource for users who need quick access to system information and assistance in troubleshooting problems.
Anyone who has worked with Intune and deployed an app knows that this is a bit of work. You have to download the sources, create the IntuneWin file, create the app in Intune. To simplify this I have created the Intune App Creator. With this application you can search within the >9,000 Chocolatey packages and automatically add this app to your Intune app portfolio with just one click.
This post introduces the Intune Toolbox — my open-source attempt at Rebuilding Intune in PowerShell. It is a modular collection of PowerShell scripts that wrap the most common Intune admin operations (devices, apps, policies, assignments) so you can run them from your terminal instead of clicking through the admin centre.
I think everyone who works with Intune on a daily basis knows the situation that they would like to have a simple feature that would simplify their daily work. In order to close exactly these gaps I decided to code my own tool with many small features that would make the life for Intune admins easier. This was the birth of the Intune Tool Box. This tool is a WPF application that is written in PowerShell. The app has the same design as Intune but offers small helpers for the daily work. The good thing is that this app is built in such a way that it can be easily extended at any time. If you have any features in your mind that you are missing in Intune console but is possible to solve this via graph so let me know that I can add this to the app. My plan is to develop the app step by step and bring in new cool features.
