Authenticating to Intune

To import the Visual C++ Redistributables into Microsoft Intune, some initial setup is required - first, install the required modules from the PowerShell Gallery:

Set-PSRepository -Name PSGallery -InstallationPolicy Trusted
Install-Module -Name VcRedist, IntuneWin32App, MSAL.PS

Prerequisites

1. Install required modules:

   Set-PSRepository -Name PSGallery -InstallationPolicy Trusted
   Install-Module -Name VcRedist, IntuneWin32App, MSAL.PS

2. Authenticate to Intune:

   Connect-MSIntuneGraph -TenantID contoso.onmicrosoft.com

   For non-interactive authentication, use an Entra ID app registration with DeviceManagementApps.ReadWrite.All permission:

   Connect-MSIntuneGraph -TenantID contoso.onmicrosoft.com -ClientId "<appId>" -ClientSecret <secret>

3. Ensure the IntuneWin32App module is available and a valid Microsoft Graph API access token is present.

Authentication

Non-interactive Authentication

An Entra ID app registration can be used for non-interactive authentication. The app registration requires the DeviceManagementApps.ReadWrite.All application permission. Create an app registration, assign the permission and enable admin consent. Then use a client secret or client certificate to use with authentication.

For a non-interactive sign-in that uses the app registration and a client secret, use this example:

Connect-MSIntuneGraph -TenantID contoso.onmicrosoft.com -ClientId "f99877d5-f757-438e-b12b-d905b00ea6f3" -ClientSecret <secret>
