<# .TITLE Get Defender Status Report .SYNOPSIS Reports Microsoft Defender health across all Windows devices: protection state, signature age, and devices needing attention. .DESCRIPTION This script reads the tenant-wide device protection overview and the per-device Windows protection state to report Microsoft Defender health: real-time protection, tamper protection, malware protection, signature currency, overdue scans, pending reboots, and devices whose state is not clean. Use it to find the machines where Defender is silently off or outdated before they become incident tickets. .TAGS Security,Monitoring .MINROLE Intune Administrator .PERMISSIONS DeviceManagementManagedDevices.Read.All .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 .\get-defender-status-report.ps1 Reports Defender health for all Windows devices .EXAMPLE .\get-defender-status-report.ps1 -OnlyIssues "true" Lists only devices with at least one Defender health issue .EXAMPLE .\get-defender-status-report.ps1 -ExportToCsv "true" Exports the full per-device Defender state to a timestamped CSV .NOTES - Requires Microsoft.Graph.Authentication module - Protection state is fetched per device (one request each); large tenants take a few minutes - Devices that never reported protection state are listed separately - Uses beta Graph endpoints because windowsProtectionState is exposed there - Local interactive sign-in uses the MgGraphCommunity module to avoid the Graph SDK's mandatory WAM broker on Windows #> [CmdletBinding()] param( [Parameter(Mandatory = $false, HelpMessage = "Show only devices with Defender issues")] [ValidateSet("true", "false", "1", "0", '$true', '$false')] [string]$OnlyIssues, [Parameter(Mandatory = $false, HelpMessage = "Export results to CSV")] [ValidateSet("true", "false", "1", "0", '$true', '$false')] [string]$ExportToCsv, [Parameter(Mandatory = $false, HelpMessage = "Output path for exports")] [string]$OutputPath = ".", [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.
