Remediation - Automated fixes based on known issues

External Remediation with UXM

UXM can trigger external remediation tools to perform actions on end-user devices and servers.


Example: PowerAutomate and Intune

Scenario: Low Disk Space

When the OS disk is running out of space:

  1. UXM triggers PowerAutomate
  2. PowerAutomate sends:
    • Email or Teams message
    • Includes information and helpful links
    • Option to create a service request (e.g., ServiceNow, Zendesk, Remedy)

Requirements

  • Microsoft Office 365 subscription

  • Power Automate Premium subscription


Automated Cleanup (Fallback)

If the user does not resolve the issue within 14 days:

  • An Intune PowerShell script can be triggered
  • The script performs automatic cleanup on the device

Workflow Overview

  1. UXM triggers PowerAutomate
  2. PowerAutomate handles user notification
  3. Intune executes remediation script (if needed)
