v1.26.09
v1.26.09 🚧 RELEASE CANDIDATE (v1.26.09-rc.3)
Highlights for this release of IntuneAssistant.
New
Duplicate Devices Detection and Removal
IntuneAssistant now finds Intune devices that are duplicates of each other (matched by serial number or Wi-Fi MAC address) and lists them on a new Devices > Duplicates page. Viewing duplicates is free for everyone; removing a duplicate from both Intune and Entra ID requires the Configuration Management module.
See: Duplicate Devices
Backup & Restore
You can now back up your Intune and Entra ID configuration to a single ZIP file, and restore it later through a guided three-step wizard (Upload, Configure, Review). Backup and restore are now also split into two separate pages for a clearer workflow.
See: Backup & Restore
Device Compare
A new setting-level comparison lets you compare two devices and immediately see which configuration settings differ between them.
See: Device Compare
Group to Filter Analyzer
A new analyzer shows which groups could be replaced by an assignment filter, helping you simplify assignment structures.
Accept Drift
Drift Monitor pages now have an Accept Drift button, so a detected configuration drift can be accepted as the new expected state directly from the monitor.
See: Drift Monitor
Multi Admin Approval for Assignments Manager
Assignments Manager can now honor Multi Admin Approval policies, requiring a second administrator to approve sensitive assignment changes before they go live.
See: Multi Admin Approval
Bulk Rename for Conditional Access Policies
Conditional Access policies can now be renamed in bulk, with skeleton loading for a smoother experience while the list is loading.
Worker Job Templates: Versioning and Update Notifications
Worker job templates now keep version history and notify you when an update is available, so scheduled jobs stay current.
See: Worker Templates
Scheduled Configuration Backups
The IntuneAssistant Worker can now run configuration backups on a schedule, in addition to on-demand backups.
License Management for MSPs
MSP administrators can now create and manage worker licenses per connected customer tenant.
See: License Management
Improved
Policy Settings Overview
You can now search nested/child settings, and filter policies by Intune scope tag, making it easier to find the exact setting you're looking for.
Assignments Manager Filtering
A filter-name dropdown is now available across assignment pages, and search fields support negative terms (excluding results that match a term), making it faster to narrow down large assignment lists.
Assignment Existence and Policy Name Matching
Policy name matching in Assignments Manager is now tolerant of leading/trailing spaces, with a warning shown whenever that fallback is used, reducing "policy not found" errors caused by stray whitespace.
License Management
License management has been reworked with a clearer structure, including bulk add/remove of licenses and an improved editing experience.
See: License Management
Customer Management
Customer management now includes a billing overview and the ability to edit entitlements directly.
Intune Audit Log Overview
The audit log overview now shows which application performed an action, giving more context to each audit event.
See: Audit Events
Message Center
Links inside Message Center announcements are now clickable, and expired messages no longer show up in the list.
Worker Heartbeat Monitoring
A dedicated monitor now checks worker heartbeat status separately, so worker health issues are detected faster.
Fixed
Policy Assignment Data Missing
Fixed a bug where Graph API calls for Configuration, Group Policy, Device Configuration, and Compliance policies did not return assignment data at all, which could make policies appear unassigned when they weren't.
Duplicate/Conflict Detection on Policy Settings Overview
Duplicate and conflicting settings detection now runs server-side and only flags policies that actually target overlapping groups, instead of incorrectly flagging policies scoped to different groups.
OMA-URI to Settings Catalog Migration Suggestions
Migration suggestions for OMA-URI policies moving to Settings Catalog are now shown correctly in the frontend.
Missing Group on Policy Assignments
Fixed an issue where a group could be missing from a policy's assignment list.
Consent Screen Permission Details
The consent screen now shows the real permission details when consent is required, instead of a placeholder.
Customer Onboarding Conflicts
Onboarding a customer that was already registered now resumes onboarding instead of failing with a conflict error.
Notification Templates for Backup & Restore
Fixed an issue where notification templates for Backup & Restore were not created correctly; they are now created through a proper two-step process.
Group Fetching for Assignments
Fixed a bug where all Entra ID dynamic groups were fetched instead of only groups relevant to Intune.
Migration Status Stuck at "Not Started"
Fixed a bug where an assignment migration could remain stuck showing "Not Started" when Microsoft Graph throttled the request during batch execution.
Partner Contracts Pagination
Fixed an issue where not all partner contracts were retrieved for MSP tenants with a large number of contracts; pagination is now followed correctly.
Technical Notes
The backend solution has been migrated to .NET 10.
A release candidate pipeline was added, allowing release candidates like this one to be promoted to production without rebuilding.
Internal version tracking updated.
This release focuses on device deduplication, backup & restore, richer policy and assignment insight, and MSP license management.
