<# .TITLE Backup Intune Configuration .SYNOPSIS Exports Intune configuration profiles, compliance policies, ADMX policies, and platform scripts to JSON files for backup and versioning. .DESCRIPTION This script connects to Microsoft Graph and exports the core Intune configuration surfaces to a timestamped backup folder: device configuration profiles, settings catalog policies (including their full setting bodies), compliance policies, administrative template (ADMX) policies with their definition values, Windows PowerShell scripts, and macOS shell scripts. Each object is written as one JSON file including its assignments, and a manifest summarizes the backup. The output is designed to be stored in source control for change tracking and used as input for the companion restore-intune-configuration script. .TAGS Configuration .MINROLE Intune Administrator .PERMISSIONS DeviceManagementConfiguration.Read.All .EXECUTION LocalOnly .AUTHOR Ugur Koc .VERSION 1.2 .CHANGELOG 1.2 - Added Azure Automation contract validation, portal-safe boolean parameters, beta Graph endpoints, and terminating paging errors 1.1 - Azure Automation now records script progress, outcomes, and summaries in job history 1.0 - Initial release .LASTUPDATE 2026-07-30 .EXAMPLE .\backup-intune-configuration.ps1 Exports all supported configuration areas to a timestamped folder in the current directory .EXAMPLE .\backup-intune-configuration.ps1 -OutputPath "C:\IntuneBackups" -Areas DeviceConfigurations,CompliancePolicies Exports only classic configuration profiles and compliance policies to C:\IntuneBackups .EXAMPLE .\backup-intune-configuration.ps1 -SkipScriptContent "true" Exports all areas but skips downloading the base64 script bodies of platform scripts .NOTES - Requires Microsoft.Graph.Authentication module - Uses beta Graph endpoints because the full Intune configuration surface is not exposed on v1.0 - Settings catalog setting bodies and ADMX definition values require one extra request per policy - Graph never returns secret values (encrypted OMA-URI settings, passwords, certificates) in exports; those settings appear with secret references only and must be re-entered manually after a restore - Local interactive sign-in uses the MgGraphCommunity module to avoid the Graph SDK's mandatory WAM broker on Windows #> [CmdletBinding()] param( [Parameter(Mandatory = $false, HelpMessage = "Folder in which the timestamped backup folder is created")] [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] [string]$OutputPath = ".", [Parameter(Mandatory = $false, HelpMessage = "Configuration areas to export")] [ValidateSet("DeviceConfigurations", "SettingsCatalog", "CompliancePolicies", "AdmxPolicies", "PlatformScripts")] [string[]]$Areas = @("DeviceConfigurations", "SettingsCatalog", "CompliancePolicies", "AdmxPolicies", "PlatformScripts"), [Parameter(Mandatory = $false, HelpMessage = "Skip downloading base64 script bodies of platform scripts")] [ValidateSet("true", "false", "1", "0", '$true', '$false')] [string]$SkipScriptContent, [Parameter(Mandatory = $false, HelpMessage = "Force module installation without prompting")] [ValidateSet("true", "false", "1", "0", '$true', '$false')] [string]$ForceModuleInstall ) # Normalize the local module-install override for Azure Automation parameter binding. $forceModuleInstallRaw = [string]$ForceModuleInstall Remove-Variable -Name ForceModuleInstall if ([string]::IsNullOrWhiteSpace($forceModuleInstallRaw)) { $ForceModuleInstall = $false } elseif ($forceModuleInstallRaw.Trim().ToLowerInvariant() -in @("true", "1", '$true')) { $ForceModuleInstall = $true } elseif ($forceModuleInstallRaw.Trim().ToLowerInvariant() -in @("false", "0", '$false')) { $ForceModuleInstall = $false } else { throw "Parameter 'ForceModuleInstall' accepts only true, false, 1, 0, $true, or $false." } # Azure Automation supplies portal parameter values as strings.
