Set primary user of Windows devices by last logged in users with automation

This tutorial describes how an automation can be used to set the primary user according to the last signed in user. The Intune data is queried via an App Registration on Graph and modified accordingly. This automation is based on an Azure runbook and executes PowerShell code.

Prerequisites

First, an App Registration is used, which is used as an unattended authentication to the Graph API. This app registration requires "User.Read.All" and "DeviceManagementManagedDevies.ReadWrite.All". Create there the corresponding Client Secret and Client id as described here: Get app details and gr... | LNC DOCS (lucanoahcaprez.ch) Fill in the variables $tenantid, $clientid and $clientsecret with the corresponding values.

Subsequently, the $WebhookURI variable can be populated with a webhook from a team channel. Creating a webhook for notification in Microsoft Teams is described here: Teams webhook notification | LNC DOCS (lucanoahcaprez.ch)

The last function used is a LogCollection Function. You should copy the URL into the $FunctionURL variable. The instructions for a central log collection point can be found here: Centralize log collect... | LNC DOCS (lucanoahcaprez.ch)

PowerShell script

This is the PowerShell script that makes the automation possible. It is very important that you fill the variables correctly as described above or the unused parts are hidden. As written, this code is optimized to run in an Azure Runbook and also uses the variables from the Azure Automation account. Accordingly, these must be filled correctly.
