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.

Thanks to:

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.

Creating Fields

Creating custom fields in NinjaOne
To create a custom field in NinjaOne go to Administration > Devices and select either Role Custom Fields or Global Custom Fields then select Add.

  • Role Custom Fields are custom fields that are specific to a device role.
  • Global Custom Fields are custom fields that are applicable to all devices and/or to a location and/or organisation
Make sure you add the fields to the roles you want to use them in at Administration > Devices > Roles (for role custom fields).

When you create your custom field you need to make sure that you set the Scripts permission to ensure that you can read or write to the field from your scripts - as appropriate for the script you're using.

We're adding one role custom field for devices with the Windows Desktop or Laptop and/or Windows Server role, note that we've customised slightly the autogenerated machine name here, if you use the default adjust the field name in the script appropriately.

M365 Apps Fields

We run this script daily and have a corresponding monitor setup to check whether M365 Apps Secure is checked. If it's not, we get an alert and can investigate further. This script has already helped us identify a few devices that were not updating correctly.

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.

The Script

Initialise-PowerShellGet.ps1
loading...

Usage

.\Initialise-PowerShellGet.ps1

Nice and simple on this one, just run the script and it will do the rest. It does expect a close-to-vanilla install of Windows 10 or 11, so if you've been messing around with the default modules before running this script, it may not work as expected.

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.

CVE-2022-41099

This script has been compiled using information from the following Microsoft sources:

security

This article relates to CVE-2022-41099 which is a vulnerability in the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) which could allow a successful attacker to bypass the BitLocker Device Encryption feature on the system storage device. An attacker with physical access to the target could exploit this vulnerability to gain access to encrypted data.

Fixed a Bug

Thanks to DTGBilly from the NinjaOne Users Discord for pointing out that in altogether far too many places I had typo'd the CVE as CVE-4022-41099 instead of CVE-2022-41099 🤦‍♂️ this included field names and labels so please check yours are correct as now shown in the post.

Parameters!

Since version 1.2.0 (2023-03-21) this script now requires one of two mandatory parameters.

  • If you are checking for the presence of the small "Safe OS Dynamic Update (SODU)" which is the minimum required change to mitigate the vulnerability use the -CheckPackage parameter and if required alter the -MountDirectory and -LogDirectory parameters (defaults to C:\RMM\WinRE).

  • If you are checking for the presence of the larger "Servicing Stack Update (SSU)" or "Dynamic Cumulative Update" which updates more than is required to mitigate the vulnerability, but may offer other benefits including new WinRE functionality or more reliable reset/restore behaviours use the -CheckImage parameter which checks the image build version.

If you were passing these in NinjaOne your parameter preset might look like this:

-CheckPackage -MountDirectory C:\RMM\WinRE -LogDirectory C:\RMM\WinRE

or this:

-CheckImage

Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) Not Enabled

Before version 1.3.0 the script did not check if WinRE was enabled which could lead to confusing error output in the event WinRE was disabled. Now if you get the WinRE not enabled warning you are clear on why the script isn't executing.

A simple reagentc /enable should enable WinRE or at least provide some useful troubleshooting output.

CVE-2023-23397

This script has been compiled using information from the following Microsoft sources:

Thanks to:
  • Concentus on the NinjaOne Users Discord for helping me run down and test different versions of Office to ensure this script was as accurate as possible.
  • Wisecompany on the One Man Band MSP Discord for reminding me to add an exit code and not overuse Write-Warning!
  • Thanks to KennyW on the MSPGeek Discord for helping find an error where certain versions were incorrectly detected as not vulnerable!
  • Thanks to Alkerayn on the NinjaOne Users Discord for helping find an error where certain channels were incorrectly detected as not vulnerable and identifying that we needed to first check the GPO-configured update channel!
  • Thanks to Tanner - MO on the MSPs R Us Discord for pointing out that version comparisons should all use -lt instead of -ne to ensure future compatibility / accuracy.
  • Thanks to DarrenWhite99 on the MSPGeek Discord for pointing out that the check for the GPO UpdateChannel was completely nonsensical and incompletely written.
  • Thanks to JSanz on the NinjaOne Users Discord for pointing out the GUID matching issue/bug.
  • Thanks to Jhn - TS on the NinjaOne Users Discord for discovering the issue with empty registry props causing the script to error.

This has only been tested against M365 Apps and Office 2021 VL versions "en masse" and only 64-bit office - if it doesn't work for you let me know on the NinjaOne Users Discord and I'll see what I can do to fix it!

Field NameField TypeDescription
Domain Join StatusDrop-downThe current domain join status of the device.
Domain NameTextThe name of the currently joined AD domain.
Tenant NameTextThe name of the currently joined Azure AD tenant.

The domain join status field should be configured with the following option values:

  • Azure AD Domain
  • AD Domain
  • Hybrid Azure AD/AD Domain
  • On-premise DRS
  • No Domain

Options

We've created a dropdown field for this script, we can't set the options by name with these - so first we need to find out how NinjaOne wants us to give the selected option. To do that we're going to open a PowerShell session to any device in the role that has the field assigned and run:

Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope Process -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned
Import-Module NJCliPSh
Ninja-Property-Options domainJoinStatus

This will print a list that looks something like this:

1989092a-1ae0-4e6e-b274-50ea9618d436=Azure AD Domain
53745d33-fd5e-4c7d-bfd5-fea174a46781=No Domain

c6e7ef80-68a1-4591-8055-5cee585f4f79=Hybrid Azure AD/AD Domain

When we want to pass the option to the field we need to use the GUID - for example 1989092a-1ae0-4e6e-b274-50ea9618d436 for Azure AD Domain.

This has been enhanced with a new SecureBootPossible metric which will show whether it's likely that Secure Boot can be enabled. A "No" to both metrics will indicate that Secure Boot is not enabled or not capable of being enabled and thus the device is not Windows 11 capable. A "Yes" to SecureBootPossible indicates that Secure Boot can likely be enabled and that this should be done to make the device Windows 11 capable.

The Results

Windows 11 Related Custom Fields

We ran this as a one-off job to evaluate our managed estate.

Limitations

This script won't detect compatible devices if the TPM is not enabled in the BIOS. It may not detect all compatible devices. This script may not accurately detect Secure Boot capability on all devices.

Creating Fields

Creating custom fields in NinjaOne
To create a custom field in NinjaOne go to Administration > Devices and select either Role Custom Fields or Global Custom Fields then select Add.

  • Role Custom Fields are custom fields that are specific to a device role.
  • Global Custom Fields are custom fields that are applicable to all devices and/or to a location and/or organisation
Make sure you add the fields to the roles you want to use them in at Administration > Devices > Roles (for role custom fields).

When you create your custom field you need to make sure that you set the Scripts permission to ensure that you can read or write to the field from your scripts - as appropriate for the script you're using.

We're adding two role custom fields for devices with the Windows Desktops and Laptops and the Windows Server role:

Field NameField TypeDescription
Windows Active SupportCheckboxWhether the OS version is supported for feature / quality updates.
Windows Security SupportCheckboxWhether the OS version is supported for security updates.

"Issues found"

This script seems to have some issues where the librespeed-cli will return null for tests intermittently - this was due to service issues with LibreSpeed themselves. An alternative version using the Ookla speedtest CLI is available below.
