<# .TITLE Restore Intune Configuration .SYNOPSIS Restores Intune configuration profiles, compliance policies, ADMX policies, and platform scripts from a JSON backup created by backup-intune-configuration. .DESCRIPTION This script reads a backup folder produced by backup-intune-configuration.ps1 and recreates the exported objects in the target tenant: device configuration profiles, settings catalog policies, compliance policies, administrative template (ADMX) policies with their definition values, and platform scripts. Objects are always created as new entries (no in-place overwrite), read-only properties are stripped from the payloads, and every create supports -WhatIf preview. Assignment restore is optional and off by default because group IDs from the source tenant may not exist in the target tenant. .TAGS Configuration .MINROLE Intune Administrator .PERMISSIONS DeviceManagementConfiguration.ReadWrite.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 .\restore-intune-configuration.ps1 -BackupPath ".\IntuneConfigBackup_2026-07-20_10-00-00" -WhatIf Previews everything that would be created without writing to the tenant .EXAMPLE .\restore-intune-configuration.ps1 -BackupPath ".\IntuneConfigBackup_2026-07-20_10-00-00" -Areas CompliancePolicies Restores only the compliance policies from the backup .EXAMPLE .\restore-intune-configuration.ps1 -BackupPath ".\IntuneConfigBackup_2026-07-20_10-00-00" -RestoreAssignments "true" Restores all areas including group assignments (same-tenant restore) .NOTES - Requires Microsoft.Graph.Authentication module - Uses beta Graph endpoints because the full Intune configuration surface is not exposed on v1.0 - Objects are created as new entries; existing policies with the same name are not touched, so a re-run creates duplicates - Compliance policies are created with their exported scheduledActionsForRule; if a backup predates that field, a default block rule is added because Graph rejects policies without one - Secret values (encrypted OMA-URI settings, passwords, certificates) are never present in Graph exports and must be re-entered manually after restore - ADMX presentation values referencing definitions that do not exist in the target tenant are skipped with a warning - Assignment restore requires the original group IDs to exist in the target tenant; failures are reported per policy and do not stop the restore - 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 = $true, HelpMessage = "Path to a folder created by backup-intune-configuration.ps1")] [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] [string]$BackupPath, [Parameter(Mandatory = $false, HelpMessage = "Configuration areas to restore")] [ValidateSet("DeviceConfigurations", "SettingsCatalog", "CompliancePolicies", "AdmxPolicies", "PlatformScripts")] [string[]]$Areas = @("DeviceConfigurations", "SettingsCatalog", "CompliancePolicies", "AdmxPolicies", "PlatformScripts"), [Parameter(Mandatory = $false, HelpMessage = "Also restore group assignments (requires source group IDs to exist)")] [ValidateSet("true", "false", "1", "0", '$true', '$false')] [string]$RestoreAssignments, [Parameter(Mandatory = $false, HelpMessage = "Prefix added to restored object names, e.g. 'Restored - '")] [string]$NamePrefix = "", [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.
