Microsoft Intune service principal

Microsoft Graph Intune fun – Create Flow connector for Autopilot

In MMSMOA, Dave, Timmy and me, we presented how to make Flow custom connector for Microsoft Intune. I mentioned I have build an “automation solution” for Autopilot and promised I will write blog post about t.  🙂 Hope you understand, when I came up with idea, it was last year 2018 August.
