Please note - the code below is provided as reference material only - authentication is NOT the point of the article and there are countless ways to acquire the correct authentication token.

Hi All and welcome.

As I am about to reach the pointy end of a project to implement an Intune MDM solution for a client, I’ve taken a moment to take stock of the lessons learned, problems faced and for the most part; the cool things I’ve run into and decided now is the time to start writing about them!
