Microsoft Intune Cookbook

Over 75 Recipes for Real Intune Work

Microsoft Intune Cookbook is a practical, task-focused guide for the people who configure, secure, and automate Microsoft’s endpoint management platform. Andrew Taylor organizes the material as a collection of recipes, so you can move from a specific problem to a working configuration without wading through abstract theory.

The book’s scope runs from initial tenant setup and Microsoft Entra ID roles through Windows device configuration, security policies, enrollment and updates, and Android management. It is written for administrators who need repeatable steps they can apply in production environments.

What You’ll Find Inside ⚙️

• Tenant and identity foundations, including static and dynamic groups, roles, and MDM/MAM scopes
• Windows device configuration with Settings catalog, custom policies, ADMX ingestion, and Group Policy analytics
• Security baselines, ASR rules, antivirus, BitLocker, Windows LAPS, application control, and firewall policies
• Enrollment and update workflows, including Windows update rings, Autopatch, Autopilot, and ESP
• Android device management, managed Google Play, enrollment profiles, OEM policies, and Wi-Fi configurations

Automation Is Built In 💻

Many recipes go beyond the portal clicks. “Automating it” sections show how to repeat configurations with PowerShell, Microsoft Graph, and other automation-friendly approaches. That makes the book useful not only for learning what Intune can do, but for building consistent, scalable processes around it.

Who This Book Is For

This is a strong fit for IT administrators, endpoint engineers, EUC architects, and cloud professionals working with Microsoft 365. The recipes assume an administrator’s context and focus on practical implementation rather than introductory theory.

Why It Earns a Place on Your Desk

Endpoint management changes quickly, and practical guidance matters. Microsoft Intune Cookbook keeps its focus on tasks: create this group, configure this policy, automate this step. If you want a reference you can open when a specific Intune challenge lands on your desk, this collection is built for exactly that kind of use.
