Microsoft Intune: On demand remediations - single device

🚨 The Signal: Intune now allows on-demand execution of remediation scripts on single devices. This enhances endpoint management by enabling rapid, targeted issue resolution, potentially reducing device downtime and support overhead.

The Impact

Security teams and Intune admins are affected, facing a potential risk of unauthorised script execution and privilege escalation if not managed correctly.

• Security Teams: Risk of unapproved scripts running on endpoints.
• Intune Admins: Increased responsibility for script validation and deployment.
• End Users: Potential for system instability if scripts are poorly tested.
• Compliance Officers: Need to ensure script execution aligns with policy.

The Action

1. Review and approve all remediation scripts before deployment.
2. Implement role-based access control (RBAC) for Intune remediation execution.
3. Establish a change management process for script creation and updates.
4. Monitor remediation script execution logs for anomalies.
5. Regularly audit Intune admin permissions for script execution.
