and here's a video I did when a root cert expired -

renewing certificates isn't so bad, have a read of my guide here > https://www.niallbrady.com/2020/08/16/how-can-i-replace-an-expired-iis-certificate-in-a-pki-enabled-configmgr-environment/

can you please show me a screenshot of where you are seeing this error ?

Introduction In part 1 I showed you how to prepare Azure for the PC Buyback app, in this part we'll add the Win32 app, deploy it and see how it behaves on a Windows Autopilot registered device. Step 1. Download the scripts Download this zip and extract to C:\Dev\Intune\Win32 apps Note: you must be a logged on member of windows-noob.com to download the ZIP PC Buyback - Intune.zip Step 2. Get ServiceUI.exe from MDT You'll need the ServiceUI.exe executable file to display user interfaces (UI) to end users when operating in SYSTEM context. To get the file, download and install MDT somewhere and navigate to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Deployment Toolkit\Templates\Distribution\Tools\x64. To download MDT click here. Copy the 64 bit version of ServiceUI.exe file to your extracted win32app_source folder so it looks like this. Step 3. Get 7Zip for compressing files Download 7Zip and install it. Copy 7z.dll and 7z.exe from the default folder C:\Program Files\7-Zip Copy those 2 files to C:\Dev\Intune\Win32 apps\PC Buyback - Intune\encode In PowerShell ISE run the Encode script.. After it is completed encoding the files, you'll have a bunch of additional text files in the encode folder. Open each text file using notepad, press CTRL+A to mark all the text, then copy using CTRL+C and paste the content of each file using CTRL+V into the corresponding section of the PCBuyback.ps1 script as shown below. Note: The QR code used in the PC Buyback app points to part 1 of this blog series, but you can customize it to point to an internal knowledge base article to assist users with the entire process. One thing to keep in mind, I used https://www.qr-code-generator.com to create the QR code, but after creating it, you'll need to resize it to 118x120 pixels (in MS paint or similar). Step 4. Modify variables In the PCBuyback.ps1 script, configure the following email related variables: $ToAddress $FromAddress $APIkey Next, copy the Function URL for each of the http triggers you created in part 1, below shows you how to do that paste those URLs into the corresponding variable in the script Save the changes to the PCBuyback.ps1 script. Step 5. Get the Microsoft Win32 content prep tool Download the Win32 content prep tool from here. Copy the IntuneWinAppUtil.exe file to your Win32 apps root folder, it should look like this. Open a command prompt and browse to the PCBuyback folder structure. Launch the IntuneWinAppUtil.exe file and answer the following. Please specify the source folder: win32app_source Please specify the setup file: PCBuyback.ps1 Please specify the output folder: win32app_target Do you want to specify catalog folder (Y/N)? n as shown here. Step 6. Add the Win32 app in Intune Log into Intune and add a new Win32 App. Below are some screenshots showing how I've configured the app. For Select app type, select Windows app (Win32) from the drop down menu Click on Select app package file and point it to the pcbuyback.intunewin file in the win32app_target folder, fill in some info about the app, for the logo, click on Select image and point it to the encode folder where the icon file can be used fill in the install commands, point it to install_pcbuyback.cmd fill in the requirements, and for detection rules point it to the detection script in the root of the PC Buyback - Intune files finally deploy it to an Entra ID group that contains the computers that are targeted for buyback, and deploy it as Available. Step 7. Test the app on a device On a test device that is already enrolled into Intune and Windows Autopilot registered, add the device to the azure ad group above and launch Company Portal. The PC Buyback app should appear. Click Install and after a few moments the app should appear. Clicking OK shows a warning and clicking OK to the warning starts the process, after a few moments it will remove the device from Intune, then remove the Windows Autopilot registered device and zip up the logs before emailing them After emailing the logs and confirmation that it's done PC Buyback, it will restart after the restart it will start resetting Windows removing all apps and settings that were on the device After the reset, Windows installs itself again... and after the reinstallation, it's back to the first screen of the OOBE, so the user can now setup their device personally When the user runs PC Buyback an email is sent to the email address you configured... and the process will store details in Azure tables (coming in Part 3) Troubleshooting If the app fails for whatever reason, it will log the details in C:\ProgramData\windowsnoob\PCBuyback\win.ap.pcbuyback.log Below is a sample of that log file from a successfully wiped device 04/06/2024 10:00:42 Starting script: 'Win.AP.PCBuyback' version: '0.0.5' ... 04/06/2024 10:00:42 extracting scripts to 'C:\ProgramData\windowsnoob\PCBuyback'... 04/06/2024 10:00:42 decoding BASE64 encoded file...'7z.exe' 04/06/2024 10:00:43 decoding BASE64 encoded file...'7z.dll' 04/06/2024 10:00:45 decoding BASE64 encoded file...'scanforhelp.png' 04/06/2024 10:00:45 decoding BASE64 encoded file...'PCBuybackUI.png' 04/06/2024 10:00:47 Detecting the logged on user... 04/06/2024 10:00:47 localuserfull was identified as: 'AzureAD\NiallBrady' 04/06/2024 10:00:47 Detection method 1: The user was identified as: NiallBrady 04/06/2024 10:00:47 SID: 'S-1-12-1-1583932090-1131944776-3006070936-2698034199' 04/06/2024 10:00:47 found sid 04/06/2024 10:00:48 registrypath is: HKU:\S-1-12-1-1583932090-1131944776-3006070936-2698034199\SOFTWARE\windowsnoob\Autopilot 04/06/2024 10:00:48 Checking if registryvalue: 'PCBuyback' in registrypath: 'HKU:\S-1-12-1-1583932090-1131944776-3006070936-2698034199\SOFTWARE\windowsnoob\Autopilot' exists... 04/06/2024 10:00:49 Reg key exists... 04/06/2024 10:00:49 registrypath is: HKU:\S-1-12-1-1583932090-1131944776-3006070936-2698034199\SOFTWARE\windowsnoob\Autopilot 04/06/2024 10:00:49 Checking if registryvalue: 'PCBuyback' in registrypath: 'HKU:\S-1-12-1-1583932090-1131944776-3006070936-2698034199\SOFTWARE\windowsnoob\Autopilot' exists... 04/06/2024 10:01:09 Reason added: '' 04/06/2024 10:01:11 The user chose OK to the PCBuyback warning, starting the reset process... 04/06/2024 10:01:11 Is this a Windows Autopilot device: 04/06/2024 10:01:11 Checking if the device is registered as a Windows Autopilot device started... 04/06/2024 10:01:11 Device serial number: 3135-5201-3107-6925-8353-2276-24 04/06/2024 10:01:19 DEBUG: The following was returned from the graph call.

Introduction Windows Autopilot allows you to quickly enroll devices using policies, apps and settings applicable to your tenant, and that's great for deploying new Windows devices. Those devices can be registered as Windows Autopilot registered devices by the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) or by a third party integrator or by the organization themselves by importing the Windows Autopilot hardware CSV into Intune. After a device has reached end of life however, it needs to be disposed of or sold on. It would be nice to offer end users the ability to buy back their old Company hardware with minimum fuss, but at the same time to remove Intune management and remove the device from Windows Autopilot registration while installing a new copy of Windows 11 professional that the end user could use for their own personal use. I created a Win32 app that does all this called PC Buyback. The app integrates with a back end Azure app using http triggers to do the magic. This post will cover the app features and code needed to implement it in your own tenant. The features of the app are as follows: Easy to use Self-Service app available in Company Portal Removes company data and apps Reinstalls Windows Changes Windows edition using OEM license info stored in BIOS Emails results to a company inbox Logging to Azure tables (optional) Note: In this blog, the app uses http triggers that use certificate secrets, this is fine in a lab, but in production you should use Azure Key Vault instead as it's more secure. Step 1. Create resource group In Entra, using an account that has permission to create Resource Groups in your subscription, create a resource group called PCBuyback, create it in the region that your tenant is located. Step 2. Create a function app in the resource group In the PCBuyback resource group, create a function app in the same region as the resource group you created above. Step 3. Create a RemoveAutopilotDevice http trigger In the Function app, create a trigger called RemoveAutopilotDevice In the newly created Http trigger, click on Code + Test and paste in the following code to overwrite the existing code... # # Remove Autopilot device by serial number # Verify if the device is autopilot and delete it from intune # version: 0.1 windowsnoob.com 2024/03/31 using namespace System.Net # Input bindings are passed in via param block. param($Request, $TriggerMetadata) # Write to the Azure Functions log stream. Write-Host "PowerShell HTTP trigger function processed a request." # Interact with query parameters or the body of the request. $serialNumber = $Request.Query.serialNumber if (-not $serialNumber) { $serialNumber = $Request.Body.serialNumber } # define the following variables $ApplicationID = "" # create an application with permissions to delete devices in Azure $TenantDomainName = "" # your tenant name $AccessSecret = "" # this is the secret of the app you create in app registrations $GraphBody = @{ Grant_Type = "client_credentials" Scope = "https://graph.microsoft.com/.default" client_Id = $ApplicationID Client_Secret = $AccessSecret } # make initial connection to Graph $ConnectGraph = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "https://login.microsoftonline.com/$TenantDomainName/oauth2/v2.0/token" -Method POST -Body $GraphBody #get the token $token = $ConnectGraph.access_token # to improve logging... $body = " `n" $response = "" $body = $body + "$(Get-Date)" + " Starting Azure function...`n" $body = $body + "$(Get-Date)" + " Connected to tenant: $TenantDomainName.`n" # now do things... if ($serialNumber) { $body = $body + "$(Get-Date)" + " You supplied serialNumber: '$serialNumber'" + ".`n" Try{ # Get Device Reference from Intune $body = $body + "$(Get-Date)" + " Get Device Reference from Intune" + ".`n" $Device = Invoke-RestMethod -Method Get -uri "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/deviceManagement/managedDevices?`$filter=contains(serialNumber,'$serialNumber')" -Headers @{Authorization = "Bearer $token"} | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Value If($Device){ $body = $body + "$(Get-Date)" + " Found number of devices similar to '$serialNumber': $($Device.count)" + "`n" Foreach($d in $Device){ If($d.serialNumber -eq $serialNumber){ $body = $body + "$(Get-Date)" + " Get deviceID from Intune: $($d.id)" + ".`n" Invoke-RestMethod -Method Delete -uri "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/deviceManagement/managedDevices/$($d.id)" -Headers @{Authorization = "Bearer $token"} $body = $body + "$(Get-Date)" + " Successfully deleted Device $($d.serialNumber) from Intune.

Push-OutputBinding -Name Response -Value ([HttpResponseContext]@{ StatusCode = [HttpStatusCode]::OK Body = $response }) Step 4. Create a GetAPDeviceFromIntune http trigger In the Function app, create a another http trigger called GetAPDeviceFromIntune and paste in the following code for that trigger. # Get Autopilot device from Intune # version: 0.1 windowsnoob.com 2024/03/31 using namespace System.Net param($Request, $TriggerMetadata) # define the following variables $ApplicationID = "" # create an application with permissions to delete devices in Azure $TenantDomainName = "" # your tenant name $AccessSecret = "" # this is the secret of the app you create in app registrations $serialNumber = $Request.Query.serialNumber if (-not $serialNumber) { $serialNumber = $Request.Body.serialNumber } $GraphBody = @{ Grant_Type = "client_credentials" Scope = "https://graph.microsoft.com/.default" client_Id = $ApplicationID Client_Secret = $AccessSecret } # make initial connection to Graph $ConnectGraph = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "https://login.microsoftonline.com/$TenantDomainName/oauth2/v2.0/token" -Method POST -Body $GraphBody #get the token $token = $ConnectGraph.access_token Write-Host "Get AP Device from Intune" # to improve logging... $body = " `n" $body = $body + "$(Get-Date)" + " Starting Azure function...`n" $body = $body + "$(Get-Date)" + " Connected to tenant: $TenantDomainName.`n" # now do things... if ($serialNumber) { $body = $body + "$(Get-Date)" + " supplied serial number: '$serialNumber'" + ".`n" try { # Get Device Reference from Intune $body = $body + "$(Get-Date)" + " Get Device Reference from Intune" + ".`n" $DeviceReference = Invoke-RestMethod -Method Get -uri "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/deviceManagement/windowsAutopilotDeviceIdentities?`$top=25&`$filter=contains(serialNumber,'$serialNumber')" -Headers @{Authorization = "Bearer $token"} | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Value #Write-Host $body Write-Host "Device Reference count: $($DeviceReference.Count)" if($DeviceReference.Count -gt 0) { $body = $body + "DeviceTrue" + ".`n" $body = $body + "$(Get-Date)" + " Serial number: $serialNumber is an autopilot machine" + ".`n" } Else { $body = $body + "DeviceFalse" + ".`n" $body = $body + "$(Get-Date)" + " Serial number: $serialNumber is not an autopilot machine" + ".`n" #Write-Host "Device doesn't Exists" } } Catch { $body = $body + "$(Get-Date)" + " $($Error)" + ".`n" $body = $body + "$(Get-Date)" + " Failed to get Device Reference from Intune." + ".`n" } } $body = $body + "$a Exiting Azure function." # Associate values to output bindings by calling 'Push-OutputBinding'. Push-OutputBinding -Name Response -Value ([HttpResponseContext]@{ StatusCode = [HttpStatusCode]::OK Body = $body }) Step 5. Create an enterprise app In Microsoft EntraId, create an enterprise app called PCBuyback Step 6. assign permissions to the app Once created, click on API permissions and using the + Add a permission button, add permissions as I've listed below. Note that these are Application permissions (type) for Microsoft Graph, once done, don't forget to grant permission for your tenant. Step 7. Create a secret In production use Azure key vault, for your lab you can quickly create a secret to test this. Copy the value somewhere safe as you'll need it for the next step. Step 8. Edit the variables in the two triggers In the two http triggers you just created, edit the variables and paste in the Enterprise App ID and secret, and your tenant name like so Once done, save the changes Step 9. Verify the http triggers Now that you've created the triggers and assigned permissions, you'll need to verify that they do what they are supposed to do. Let's start with the GetAPDeviceFromIntune. To test this, paste in the serial number of a Windows Autopilot registered device and click on Test/Run. Replace the serial number below with the serial number of the computer you want to test with. { "serialNumber": "5366-8776-5502-4105-6320-3369-17" } After running, we can see it reports that the device is true as it is a Windows Autopilot registered device. Now we know it works, let's test the other trigger. And that too, works great! That's it for part 1, see you in the next part where we'll create the Win32 app and test it !

what version of SCCM are you testing with ?

have you reviewed my guides here ? https://www.niallbrady.com/2019/11/13/want-to-learn-about-the-new-bitlocker-management-in-microsoft-endpoint-manager-configuration-manager/

can you share exactly what you have in the step that's failing? i do see the following typo above $TSEnv = New-Objct should be $TSEnv = New-Object

can you show me a snippet of the new errors seen ? looking back at the original error it's complaining about 'invalid date' did you see that ?

you need to trigger a Software Update sync and look at the wsyncmgr.log and WSUSctrl.log to figure out the problem

have you checked and verified that WSUS is syncing correctly and no issues there ?

for context, here's a snapshot of what yours is downloading before it fails versus the same moment from my working lab

from what i can see here it's downloading the wrong type of boot image have you deployed the X64 boot wim from your distribution point and made it PXE bootable ?

did you follow the guide exactly ? did you verify IIS was working as per my guide before switching ? did you also add your root CA as per step 5 here ?

there are many things to think about here, for example, how is your task sequence deployed ? is it deployed to All Unknown Computers ? and also to a collection containing these computers (if they are already known in SCCM) ?
