<# .TITLE Restart Devices .SYNOPSIS Trigger remote restart operations on specific managed devices in Intune or devices in an Entra ID group. .DESCRIPTION This script connects to Microsoft Graph and triggers remote restart operations on targeted devices. You can target devices by specific names, device IDs, or by Entra ID group membership. The script provides real-time feedback on restart operations and handles errors gracefully. All operations include confirmation prompts to prevent accidental restarts. .TAGS Operational,Devices .MINROLE Intune Administrator .PERMISSIONS DeviceManagementManagedDevices.PrivilegedOperations.All,DeviceManagementManagedDevices.Read.All,GroupMember.Read.All .AUTHOR Ugur Koc .VERSION 1.7 .CHANGELOG 1.7 - Let the finally block own Graph disconnection so early exits do not emit a second-disconnect error 1.6 - Ignore empty string-array values supplied by Azure Automation when validating the selected target 1.5 - Added a portal-safe DryRun mode and records an empty target group as a successful no-op 1.4 - Added Azure Automation contract validation, portal-safe boolean parameters, beta Graph endpoints, and terminating paging errors 1.3 - Azure Automation now records script progress, outcomes, and summaries in job history 1.2 - Added -WhatIf dry run support; exit code 1 when any restart fails; 429 retry with 60s wait on restart calls; group matching now falls back to userPrincipalName/mail so user-membership groups work; group lookup failures abort with a distinct error; added $select to managed device queries 1.1 - Local runs now use MgGraphCommunity for WAM-free interactive sign-in (auto-installed if missing) 1.0 - Initial release .LASTUPDATE 2026-07-30 .EXAMPLE .\restart-devices.ps1 -DeviceNames "LAPTOP001","DESKTOP002" Restarts specific devices by name .EXAMPLE .\restart-devices.ps1 -DeviceIds "12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789012","87654321-4321-4321-4321-210987654321" Restarts specific devices by their Intune device IDs .EXAMPLE .\restart-devices.ps1 -EntraGroupName "IT Department Devices" Restarts all devices belonging to users in the specified Entra ID group .EXAMPLE .\restart-devices.ps1 -DeviceNames "LAPTOP001" -Force "true" Restarts a specific device without confirmation prompt .EXAMPLE .\restart-devices.ps1 -EntraGroupName "IT Department Devices" -DryRun "true" Lists the target devices without sending a restart action .NOTES - Supports both local execution and Azure Automation Runbook environments - Automatically detects execution environment and uses appropriate authentication method - Local execution: Uses interactive authentication with specified scopes - Azure Automation: Uses Managed Identity authentication - Requires Microsoft.Graph.Authentication module (auto-installs if missing in local environment) - Use -ForceModuleInstall to skip installation prompts in local environment - Requires appropriate permissions in Entra ID - Restart operations are triggered immediately but may take 5-30 minutes to execute - Devices will restart within 5 minutes when users are logged in - Confirmation prompts are shown unless -Force parameter is used - Use with caution as this will interrupt user work - Local interactive sign-in uses the MgGraphCommunity module to avoid the Graph SDK's mandatory WAM broker on Windows #> [CmdletBinding(SupportsShouldProcess = $true)] param( [Parameter(Mandatory = $false)] [string[]]$DeviceNames, [Parameter(Mandatory = $false)] [string[]]$DeviceIds, [Parameter(Mandatory = $false)] [string]$EntraGroupName, [Parameter(Mandatory = $false)] [ValidateSet("true", "false", "1", "0", '$true', '$false')] [string]$Force, [Parameter(Mandatory = $false, HelpMessage = "Preview target devices without restarting them")] [ValidateSet("true", "false", "1", "0", '$true', '$false')] [string]$DryRun, [Parameter(Mandatory = $false)] [int]$RestartDelaySeconds = 2, [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.
