INTUNE LOCAL IP PRINTER DEPLOYMENT

 October 1, 2024   Stefan Peters

Printer deployment with Intune is not always easy. In larger environments you
probably still have a Windows Print Server using printer shares. Connecting them
is usually done via PowerShell scripting or Win32 Apps in Intune.

This solution is for those environments where you have no Windows Print Server
and no Cloud Printing solution available. Just a bunch of clients and a bunch of
IP printers. Getting the drivers installed can be a cumbersome task, especially
if there are many different types of printers and default settings. I have done
this in the past at clients where there was no better way.

ENTRA ID – APPREG MANAGER 2024 – V02

 May 17, 2024   Stefan Peters

First release (v01) contained a little bug. Instead of the Application ID, the
Object ID of the AppReg was exported in the ouput. This is fixed in v02.

You can download the second (v2) version here.

ENTRA ID – APPREG MANAGER 2024 – V01

 May 4, 2024   Stefan Peters

During my work as an IT Consultant, I frequently use PowerShell scripts to
connect to Azure, Microsoft 365 or Microsoft Graph. When these scripts run
automated on servers or in Azure Automate, I often use certificates for
authentication. Creating these App Registrations in Entra ID portal is not very
convenient.

I have used scripts before to create these App Regs. You might have seen it in
my PSRoomSigning solution.

This script is a very complete App Reg Manager.

Features:

 * Create a new App Registration in Microsoft Entra ID with a new self-signed
   certificate.
 * Delete App Registrations in Microsoft Entra ID (multi select supported).
 * Report App Registrations with certificates/secrets that are expired or about
   to expire (export2csv).
 * Report API permissions or Role Permissions on App Registrations (export2csv).
 * Create a new self-signed certificate and add it to an existing App
   Registration (one that is about to expire).
 * You can choose how long the certificate is valid in days.
 * After creation it exports the certificate into a PFX file.
 * After creation it exports sample PowerShell code to use the new App
   Registration in PowerShell.

Requirements

 * Runs on PowerShell (only tested on Windows)
 * Uses Microsoft Graph PowerShell module
   (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/microsoftgraph/installation?view=graph-powershell-1.0)
 * Need Global Admin account or (….)

Installation:

 * Install the required PowerShell module: Install-Module -Name Microsoft.Graph
 * Extract the ZIP file to a scripts folder i.e. “c:\scripts\appregmgr”
 * Execute the script.



You can download the second (v2) version here.

AZURE SNAPSHOT MANAGER

 October 2, 2022   Stefan Peters

Microsoft Azure is a great platform to host Virtual Machines. What native Azure
doesn’t have is a good snapshot/checkpoint manager like Hyper-V does. Since some
time now you can create disk snapshots per disk. If a Virtual Machine has
multiple disks you have to create the snapshot for every disk. And for every
disk it asks how you want to call it. Don’t even mention about putting the
snapshot back in the VM.

That is where Azure Snapshot Manager comes in. This PowerShell based tool makes
it a lot easier for you to create snapshots of all disks in one run. Also it
allows you to apply the snapshot on any existing VM in the same region, but also
create a new VM based of the selected snapshot. I have developed this script in
a few iterations and I believe this version is ready to go into the wild.

If you have any suggestions or questions please check the About button on the
site and let me know!


DISCLAIMER

Use of this script is at your own risk and responsibility: This script creates
disk snapshots, attach and detach disks to new or existing VMs. No disks are
deleted. Creating new Azure resources can increase costs on you Azure bill.
Please take this into account.


DOWNLOAD

Download the script here: AzVMSnapshotMgr_v3.zip


START THE SCRIPT AND CONNECT TO AZURE.

PS ROOMSIGNING 2022.02.05 (NEW VERSION)

 February 5, 2022   Stefan Peters


INTRODUCTION

PSRoomSigning 2022 is a complete new version of the PowerShell based solution
for RoomSigning. The solution has been reinvented because of issues with the
2021 version. If you installed the 2021 version and have “server error 500”
sometimes please remove the old version and install this one.

RoomSigning 2022 will display the meetings in your meeting rooms in your
environment. If you have an information display in your company restaurant or
foyer you can display this information. Only meetings of today are displayed and
meetings in the past are no longer on the screen, keeping it nice and clean.


Example of RoomSigning


HOW DOES IT WORK?

The PowerShell script is designed to run as a scheduled task, or scheduled Azure
Automation Runbook. The script needs a Service Principal Name in Azure AD with
‘Calendar.Read’ and ‘User.Read’ permissions. And when your target is Azure Web
App Service the SPN needs Contributor permissions on the App Service.

When the script runs it will read the configured Exchange Online Room mailboxes
and will render an HTML file in a configured target location. This HTML file is
the visual representation of the Exchange Rooms. The HTML location needs to be a
location where your display device can access it. This can be a webserver
running local or in Azure or can be a local folder or a shared folder on a file
share. If your client can access it, it will work.



Revision History:

2022 – Second release
• Reinvented the solution with extra jQuery script and splitting the HTML into
two files.
• Add jQuery script for refreshing the page, making it more robust and stable.
• Requires webserver, doesn’t work local anymore.
• Fixed the PSRoomsigning_CreateResources.ps1 script now it works.

2021 – First release

PS ROOMSIGNING

 September 25, 2021   Stefan Peters


INTRODUCTION

PSRoomSigning is a PowerShell based solution for RoomSigning, you can run this
script on your Windows based display device, webserver or run natively in Azure.
RoomSigning will show the meetings of your meeting rooms in your environment. If
you have an information display in your company restaurant or foyer you can
display this information. Only meetings of today are displayed and meetings in
the past are no longer on the screen.


Example of RoomSigning



HOW DOES IT WORK?

The PowerShell script is designed to run as a scheduled task, or scheduled Azure
Automation Runbook. The script needs a Service Principal Name in Azure AD with
‘Calendar.Read’ and ‘Directory.Read’ permissions. And when your target is Azure
Web App Service the SPN needs Contributor permissions on the App Service.

When the script runs it will read the configured Exchange Online Room mailboxes
and will render an HTML file in a configured target location. This HTML file is
the visual representation of the Exchange Rooms. The HTML location needs to be a
location where your display device can access it. This can be a webserver
running local or in Azure or can be a local folder or a shared folder on a file
share. If your client can access it, it will work.

The HTML file generated contains a 30 second auto refresh setting so when the
script writes a new version it will be updated automatically.

AZURE AD – DIRECTORY ROLES – WHERE ARE YOU?

 April 26, 2021   Stefan Peters

Today I noticed something strange. I am scripting with AzureAD PowerShell
against Azure AD. I have created a script that will create a Service Principal
Name with Directory Reader role. This worked perfectly in my old trial/demo
tenant and in customer tenants.

Last week I had to recreate my test lab environment because the licenses expired
(I use 1 year demo tenants). Today I tried to create the SPN with the previously
created PowerShell script and add the Directory Reader Role.

That script errored out at the line:
Add-AzureADDirectoryRoleMember -ObjectId (Get-AzureADDirectoryRole |
where-object {$_.DisplayName -eq “Directory Readers”}).Objectid -RefObjectId
$sp.ObjectId


I tried logging in with Connect-AzureAD to the tenant in a new PowerShell window
with my Global Admin account to the same tenant. After that I tried this
command: Get-AzureADDirectoryRole



According to this PowerShell command there are only two Directory Roles.
