About this chapter
What this chapter covers
Running endpoints at scale means automating routine work and watching health. This domain is worth 10 to 15 percent of the exam. It covers automating Intune with PowerShell and Microsoft Graph, using Security Copilot agents in Intune, reporting and data visibility, Endpoint analytics, remediation scripts, and monitoring tenant health and alerts.
It is the smallest domain, but its newest objectives, the Security Copilot agents, are the least familiar to most candidates.
How the topics fit together
- Automating with PowerShell and Microsoft Graph covers scripts, the Graph API and extending compliance.
- Security Copilot agents in Intune covers the available agents and how to review their recommendations.
- Reporting, workbooks and Endpoint analytics covers where data lives and how to read scores.
- Remediations, tenant health and alerts covers fixing problems and watching the service.
Matching the tool to the job matters most. Scripts and Graph automate actions, reports and analytics show state, and remediations fix recurring issues.
