Updated edition of Packt's trusted, top-selling Intune title, this cookbook helps you solve daily admin challenges faster using proven workflows, PowerShell and Microsoft Graph automation, reporting, and AI-assisted insights for secure, reliable endpoint operations.

Key Features

  • Manage and secure cloud-connected endpoints across Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and Linux.
  • Automate Intune administration using PowerShell and Microsoft Graph APIs.
  • Improve operational efficiency with analytics, reporting, and AI-powered guidance using Security Copilot.

Microsoft Intune Cookbook, Second Edition, is a hands-on guide for IT administrators managing and supporting modern endpoints, built around the latest Intune capabilities and endpoint security enhancements. Written by Andrew Taylor, an experienced Intune practitioner and active community contributor, it focuses on everyday admin tasks and turns them into clear, repeatable recipes.

Youโ€™ll start by preparing an Intune tenant and setting up key Entra ID foundations, then work through managing Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and Linux using practical, proven workflows. Along the way, youโ€™ll configure policies, enrol devices, deploy apps, and strengthen security with compliance, Microsoft Defender integration, encryption, and Conditional Access. Youโ€™ll also go beyond the portal by using PowerShell and Microsoft Graph to automate routine work, reduce manual effort, and make changes at scale. Monitoring and reporting are covered so you can track device health, security posture, and deployment outcomes with confidence.

Advanced scenarios include secure remote support, privilege elevation, cloud-based certificate management, real-time queries, and AI-assisted guidance to speed up troubleshooting and decision-making. By the end, youโ€™ll have practical techniques you can apply immediately to run a modern, cloud-first Intune environment.

What you will learn

  • Set up and configure a Microsoft Intune tenant.
  • Manage Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and Linux devices.
  • Secure endpoints using policies, compliance, and Microsoft Defender.
  • Deploy and manage applications across platforms.
  • Automate administration with PowerShell and Microsoft Graph.
  • Monitor devices using analytics, reporting, and logs.
  • Apply advanced endpoint capabilities such as Remote Help and EPM.
  • Use AI-assisted insights to troubleshoot and optimise operations.

Who this book is for

This book is for IT administrators, endpoint engineers, and cloud administrators responsible for managing devices with Microsoft Intune. It suits professionals with basic knowledge of Windows and Microsoft 365 who want practical guidance for daily device management, security, application deployment, compliance, troubleshooting, and automation across multiple platforms in a cloud-first environment.
