Updating Assets from Intune

[Tommy Tsui]

Hi all,

We are starting to use Assets to track laptops, and sourcing our data from MS Intune via Data Manager.

What I'd like to do is take MS Intune information as the "source" information, and if there are objects that had been dropped from Intune between updates, it will be marked as "inactive" in Assets.

Short of CSV manipulations and consolidations, what'll be the best way to I achieve this?

Thanks in advance

Hi and welcome to the community!

At this point DM does not have a bridge to Assets, Ideally you would indeed:

• Get data form Intune into DM
• Transform the data
• Push it to Assets

That, however is for some reason still not possible. Moving forward, there are several ways to approach this.

Pull Intune data into DM => Export csv and use this export to manually import into Assets

A lot of manual work and definitely not scalable.

Use the Asset import workflow, documented here:

https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/assets/imports-rest-api-guide/workflow/

I personally  have done this in python, followed the workflow with the External import feature in Assets. I have a VM that where the import scripts are scheduled to push data to Assets.

Have a look at the documentation.

Thanks for that. 

Whilst I think the REST API way is a better way to go, we are a small shop and we don't have enough people inhouse who can maintain something like this. 

So I guess we'd have to do it the manual way then.

HI @Tommy Tsui - If you are open to using Marketplace apps then OnLink supports this use case. OnLink connects to Intune and can import data to Asets. Documentation Link - https://onwardb.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ONLINK/pages/94306305/Microsoft+Intune+to+JSM+Assets

Disclosure: I'm part of Onward who built OnLink.

Thanks Prabhu,

We'll consider Marketplace apps at a later stage. But the product does look interesting.
