Fetch Intune Azure AD Details from Graph API Intune PowerShell Scripts

Now, Microsoft Graph API is the buzzword. How to use Microsoft Graph API to fetch the details from Azure Active Directory (Azure AD/AAD) and Microsoft Intune? And a list of Intune PowerShell Scripts samples. I’m not going to provide any Graph API scripts to fetch details in this post.

APIs have always been an alien term for me. Rest API was everywhere and now it’s Graph API. Have you ever tried Facebook Graph API? So the entire industry is taking the path of Graph API!

Fetch Intune Azure AD Details from Graph API Intune PowerShell Scripts 3

In this post, I would like to help by providing basic details of the Microsoft Graph API. How to start using Graph API graphically (Not programmatically) and how Graph API would be helpful for IT Pros in their day-to-day life. Microsoft Intune admins can analyze the details of a device or user from Graph API.

We can get only limited details of objects from the Azure AD portal, however, loads of details can be fetched from Graph API via Web browsers. You can perform all the GET and other supported operations from the following URL. Remember to sign in to the tenant.

There are two versions of Graph explorer available at the moment. Version 1.0 and Beta. I was having a hard time connecting to Graph API. It was ok when I wanted to retrieve my user information. But when I tried to fetch the details for the entire tenant, it was asked to agree or accept new Admin consent as you can see in the following paragraph.

This query requires additional permissions. If you are an administrator, you can click here to grant them on behalf of your entire organization. Or, you can try the same request against your own tenant by creating a free Office 365 developer account.

When I tried to click on the “HERE” button to accept the consent, it was giving me an odd error as follows:- “AADSTS90002: No service namespace named ‘organizations’ was found in the data store.” Ryan and Panu helped me to get rid of this error mentioned above. To accept this admin consent, you don’t have to create any manual applications or run any PowerShell scripts! It’s out of the box set now in your enterprise applications blade in the Azure console.

Following are some of the samples of graph API GET queries to retrieve details from Intune and Azure Active Directory (AAD). The other 3 types of actions are possible with Graph API and those are POST, PATCH, and DELETE.

WhatsApp is one of the applications “https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/deviceAppManagement/mobileApps“. Similarly, we can retrieve the owned devices of a user and the status of a device through Graph API GET commands. Some of these details are only available ONLY through Graph API. This will great help for Intune admins at the time of troubleshooting issues.
