What's changed: Created MD-102 Chapter 5 (domain: Optimize endpoint operations). Automate management tasks (PowerShell/Microsoft Graph, custom compliance, Security Copilot agents in Intune), monitor/optimize health (Endpoint Analytics device health scores/startup performance/application reliability, proactive remediations detection/remediation scripts), and reporting/alerts (reporting/workbooks/dashboards/export, tenant health/service health dashboard/message center, alerts and notifications compliance drift/enrollment failures/configuration conflicts). This completes the MD-102 textbook: all 5 chapters / 13 sections.
5.1Automate management tasks
Understand automating Intune management tasks with PowerShell and Microsoft Graph, extending compliance with PowerShell, and using Security Copilot agents in Intune for threat investigation, performance analysis, and acting on recommendations.
Automate repetitive ops with scripts, and accelerate investigation/analysis with AI assistance.
5.1.1Script automation
Use PowerShell and Microsoft Graph to script and automate Intune management tasks (bulk assignment, configuration, report export). When built-in compliance policies are not enough, extend compliance with PowerShell (custom compliance scripts). These are "deterministic automation you write yourself"
5.1.2Security Copilot agents
Intune Security Copilot agents assist operations with AI: investigate threats, analyze device performance, and review and act on recommendations (aiding management decisions). Compared to scripts (deterministic work you write), Security Copilot agents’ role is "AI-assisted investigation/analysis/recommendations"—review recommendations before applying them.
