Intune Policy Manager AI-powered policy descriptions and conflict analysis dashboard.

AI-Powered Intune Policy Documentation and Conflict Analysis

jannikreinhardLeave a comment

If you manage Microsoft Intune at scale, you know the pain: hundreds of policies, most of them with empty or outdated descriptions, and zero visibility into which settings overlap or even contradict each other across policies. I’ve seen this in pretty much every tenant I’ve worked with and honestly, it’s one of the most underestimated operational risks in modern endpoint management.

So I built a tool to fix it. It builds on the same idea I explored in Create your own Intune Co Pilot using Azure OpenAi Studio, but takes it further with policy documentation and conflict analysis. Let me walk you through it.

Azure AI Content Safety Guide: Filters and Best Practices

Azure AI Content Safety Guide: Filters and Best Practices

Azure AI Content Safety is Microsoft’s AI-powered service for detecting harmful content in both user-generated and AI-generated text and images. It runs as the built-in content filtering system for all Azure OpenAI and Foundry model deployments, screening both prompts and completions through an ensemble of classification models. The service is available as a standalone API and is deeply integrated into the Microsoft Foundry portal. It went through major expansion, adding prompt injection defense, hallucination detection, copyright protection, and PII filtering alongside its core harm-category classifiers.

In my opinion, Microsoft did a great job with this service.

Automate Local Admin Rights Removal with Privilege Manager

Automate Local Admin Rights Removal with Privilege Manager

This is the second guest post from my partner Recast Software. 
Imagine reducing 90% of critical security vulnerabilities with a single change to your IT policy. Removing local admin rights can achieve this. IT departments face a constant influx of tickets and issues to manage. Many of these result from a need to elevate permissions, perhaps to update a piece of software or access a resource. The old way of getting around this issue was to give end users local admin permissions on their device. I know many of you are cringing just reading that—so am I. There are many, many reasons not to give end-users local admin permissions. The risks associated with local admin rights greatly outweigh the benefit of fewer tickets from end-users.
