A device can look healthy in NinjaOne and still have broken Intune enrollment state in the background.
This script-driven health check validates key Intune enrollment indicators and writes the results to NinjaOne custom fields so you can alert on drift quickly.
Long-running uptime can be useful, but it also increases risk: pending updates remain pending, patch windows get missed, and users eventually get hit with inconvenient restarts.
This script gives you a practical middle ground:
This script uses an undocumented Microsoft 365 API to check the latest version of Microsoft Office / 365 Apps and compares it to the installed version. It then sets a custom field in NinjaOne to indicate whether the latest security release (if there is one) is installed. It also sets fields to indicate the channel, installed version, update status and a card containing more detailed information.
This article uses an undocumented API to check the latest version of Microsoft Office / 365 Apps. This API is subject to change without notice and may stop working at any time. Use at your own risk.
PowerShell 5.1 as shipped with Windows 10 and 11 includes versions 1.0.0.1 of PackageManagement and PowerShellGet this old version cannot install most modern modules, nor can it self update properly.
In most cases fixing this runs into numerous issues with conflicting versions or files in use. This script is an adaptation of a script by Chris Taylor which takes a different approach to downloading the modules, has a bit more error checking and further installs the new PSResourceGet module which is the replacement for PowerShellGet.
This post will hold detection scripts for any serious CVE vulnerability that we write detection scripts for in the future. It will be updated and added to as new vulnerability detection scripts are written.
We're adding three role custom fields for devices with the Windows Laptop role:
| Field Name | Field Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Driver Update: Reboot Required | Checkbox | Whether the latest driver update run requires a reboot to finalise. |
| Driver Update: Last Run | Date/Time | The date and time the driver update script last ran successfully. |
| Driver Update: Number Installed on Last Run | Integer | The number of driver updates installed on last script run. |

You will find more excellent uses for NinjaOne custom fields on the Dojo, on Stephen Murphy's blog and on Luke Whitelock's blog.
Custom fields are a great way to store arbitrary data from your devices in NinjaOne. In this post I will explore a few examples, some using code from CyberDrain, which store data in NinjaOne custom fields.
This post was updated on 2022/12/22 to add a new script to run a speedtest on a device and store the results in NinjaOne.
