Conflictos en asignaciones de aplicaciones
Detecta apps asignadas como requerida y desinstalar al mismo tiempo, grupos incluidos y excluidos en la misma app, o el mismo grupo con intenciones distintas.
Ejemplo en México
Escuela secundaria privada en Puebla, 60 personas
Dos coordinadores copiaron asignaciones de apps entre grupos de aulas y varios iPads quedaron con una app marcada como requerida y también como desinstalar.
.\get-app-assignment-conflicts.ps1 -ExportToCsv "true" -OutputPath "C:\Reportes"Un CSV con cada conflicto y el grupo afectado. El equipo corrige las asignaciones antes de que inicie el ciclo escolar.
Cómo implementarlo
- Abre PowerShell 7 en tu computadora y ve a la carpeta del script.
- Ejecuta el script; inicia sesión con una cuenta con rol de Administrador de Intune y acepta los permisos de lectura.
- Revisa la tabla: cada fila indica la app, el grupo (con su nombre resuelto) y el tipo de conflicto.
- Corrige las asignaciones en la consola de Intune y vuelve a correr el script para confirmar que ya no aparece nada.

.TITLE
Get App Assignment Conflicts
.SYNOPSIS
Detects conflicting Intune app assignments: required versus uninstall, and groups that are both included and excluded.
.DESCRIPTION
This script analyzes every Intune app's assignments and reports conflicts that
produce unpredictable install behavior: the same app targeted with required and
uninstall intent, the same group both included and excluded on one app, and the
same group receiving the app with different intents. Group names are resolved so
the report is directly actionable. These conflicts commonly appear after mergers
of app deployments or copy-pasted assignment changes and are hard to spot in the
portal.

.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-app-assignment-conflicts.ps1
Reports all app assignment conflicts in the console
.EXAMPLE
.\get-app-assignment-conflicts.ps1 -ExportToCsv "true"
Exports the conflict report to a timestamped CSV file
.NOTES
- Requires Microsoft.Graph.Authentication module
- Required + available for the same group is reported as informational, not a conflict (required wins by design)
- Nested group membership is not evaluated; only direct assignment targets are compared
- Uses beta Graph endpoints for the app assignment surface
- Local interactive sign-in uses the MgGraphCommunity module to avoid the Graph SDK's mandatory WAM broker on Windows
