MDM-ODA is a PowerShell & WPF based plug-n-play tool for Entra & Intune on-demand operations. Built with attention to detail for the granular challenges faced by support teams, enabling project teams to get reliable, meaningful, up-to-date insights and reports on the go. Built with safeguards to prevent accidental actions, keeping Zero Trust and least privilege as top priority.

Lightweight & Powerful	Enterprise-grade functionality built entirely on native Windows components — PowerShell 7 and WPF. Zero third-party dependencies, zero licensing. All data is live from Microsoft Graph — no Power BI refresh cycles, no stale dashboards.
Security & Guardrails	Delegated auth flow for least privilege — use your Tenant & Client ID. Validation & preview before each write action. Live verbose logging for transparency. No admin rights required.
Productivity	Complex on-demand actions with minimum effort. In-page live table output with flexibility to select cells, copy individual cell/row/all, or export to XLSX.

Security & Auth Design

MDM-ODA uses the OAuth 2.0 delegated flow exclusively — the app never holds standalone permissions. Every API call executes in the context of the signed-in user, meaning the effective permission is always the intersection of what the app registration allows and what the user's Entra/Intune roles permit. The recommended configuration uses read-only API scopes for everyday operations. Write permissions are only needed when performing create, update, or delete operations.

Every write action follows a strict validation-before-commit workflow: the tool validates input format, checks for duplicates, resolves object identifiers, and presents a structured preview of pending changes. Only after the user explicitly confirms does the operation execute.

For the full architecture diagram and detailed auth flow, see the blog.

Prerequisites

Windows 11 with WPF (built-in, no additional installation needed)
PowerShell 7 — handled automatically by the script (auto-installs via winget if missing). The orchestrator can be launched from a standard PowerShell 5.1 host — it detects the running version, locates or installs PS7, and re-launches itself in the PS7 runtime automatically
Internet Connectivity — required for PowerShell Gallery modules and Microsoft Graph API
No Admin Rights Required — MDM-ODA runs in user context
Code Signing & WDAC — if WDAC or script execution policies are enforced, code signing adjustments may be needed

Getting Started

# 1. Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/satishsinghi-gh/mdm-oda.git

# 2. Configure credentials (optional) — pre-populate your Tenant ID and Client ID
#    in the script, or enter them manually at launch

# 3. Launch the downloaded script — no parameters, no admin rights needed
.\MDM-ODA.ps1

# 4. Authenticate with your Entra credentials and start using the tool

What's Included

Fully functional PowerShell 7 script with embedded WPF UI
Automatic prerequisite detection and installation
Microsoft Graph SDK integration for reliable API calls
Real-time verbose logging to local file system
Validation workflows for write operations
Export to Excel (XLSX) capability
Complete source code and documentation

Permissions

Delegated App Permissions

Permission	Purpose
`User.Read`	Sign-in and read current user profile (/me for PIM checks)
`User.Read.All`	Resolve UPN inputs and read user properties across all functions
`Group.Read.All`	Read group properties, list groups, read types and membership rules
`GroupMember.Read.All`	List group members and query member counts
`Directory.Read.All`	TransitiveMemberOf for PIM role detection and object membership
`Device.Read.All`	Resolve devices, read properties, query registered users
`DeviceManagementConfiguration.Read.All`	Read Intune config profiles and policies for assignment lookups
`DeviceManagementManagedDevices.Read.All`	Query managed devices by Azure AD device ID or serial number
`DeviceManagementRBAC.Read.All`	Read Intune RBAC settings (role assignments and role definitions)
`offline_access`	Maintain refresh token for persistent session

Note: The documented least-privileged permissions for group write operations are Group.ReadWrite.All and GroupMember.ReadWrite.All. However, based on testing, group owners with scoped Intune RBAC roles can perform all write operations with only the read-only scopes above. If you want to guarantee write access regardless of ownership, add Group.ReadWrite.All and GroupMember.ReadWrite.All.

User Permissions

Entra built-in roles or custom RBAC roles determine which specific resources a user can access. The app permissions set the API surface ceiling, but Intune RBAC and group ownership scope the actual access. Group Owners is sufficient for most group management operations. For comprehensive device and policy insights, users may benefit from Intune Reader or Intune Administrator roles depending on scope.

Web Application Redirect URI

For WAM (Web Account Manager) based authentication, configure the following redirect URI in your Entra app registration:

ms-appx-web://Microsoft.AAD.BrokerPlugin/{Client-ID}

Replace {Client-ID} with your actual Application (client) ID from Entra.

Roadmap

MDM-ODA is actively evolving. Here's what's planned for upcoming releases:

Input-Based Bulk Actions — Sync, Remediation (excluding destructive actions like Wipe/Delete)
Comprehensive Update Insights — Quality Updates, Feature Updates, Driver Updates
Application Landscape — Platforms, Assignments, Deployment States, Filters, App Creation Workflows
Defender Integration — Timeline Events, Advanced Hunting, Vulnerability State, Software Inventory
Advanced Policy Management Actions — Targeted modifications, cloning, bulk assignment management
Advanced Dynamic Group Query Builder — Visual query builder with syntax validation and preview
