In this short blog I want to show you how you can build an IME Log Summarizer that uses GPT to get a summarization of the Intune Management Extension log. This IME Log Summarizer 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, so you spend less time scrolling through thousands of noisy log lines.

Troubleshooting app and policy delivery on Windows endpoints almost always comes back to this one log file, and reading it by hand is slow. An IME Log Summarizer turns that raw, verbose log into a short, readable report that highlights what actually went wrong on the device. If you already manage devices with Microsoft Intune, this is an easy win you can set up in minutes.

In this guide I walk through how to detect new Intune Management Extension updates automatically on every device, so you are never surprised by a silent client-side update again.

For troubleshooting purposes it is helpful to change the IME log level of the Intune Management Extension. Since this has to be done in an XML config file of the IME, and inserting a wrong value can affect the function of the IME, I wrote a script which makes changing the IME log level easy.
