Intune Local IP Printer Deployment

    Stefan Peters

Printer deployment with Intune is not always easy. In larger environments you probably still have a Windows Print Server using printer shares. Connecting them is usually done via PowerShell scripting or Win32 Apps in Intune.

This solution is for those environments where you have no Windows Print Server and no Cloud Printing solution available. Just a bunch of clients and a bunch of IP printers. Getting the drivers installed can be a cumbersome task, especially if there are many different types of printers and default settings.

Azure AD – Directory Roles – Where are you?

    Stefan Peters

Today I noticed something strange. I am scripting with AzureAD PowerShell against Azure AD. I have created a script that will create a Service Principal Name with Directory Reader role. This worked perfectly in my old trial/demo tenant and in customer tenants.

Last week I had to recreate my test lab environment because the licenses expired (I use 1 year demo tenants). Today I tried to create the SPN with the previously created PowerShell script and add the Directory Reader Role.

That script errored out at the line:
Add-AzureADDirectoryRoleMember -ObjectId (Get-AzureADDirectoryRole | where-object {$_.DisplayName -eq “Directory Readers”}).Objectid -RefObjectId $sp.ObjectId

I tried logging in with Connect-AzureAD to the tenant in a new PowerShell window with my Global Admin account to the same tenant. After that I tried this command: Get-AzureADDirectoryRole


According to this PowerShell command there are only two Directory Roles.
