Recommended Configurations for the .Entra ID Inventory Job Group
The .Entra ID Inventory Solution is configured to inherit settings from the Global Settings node. The host list and connection profile must be assigned before job execution. After these are assigned to the job group, it can be run directly or scheduled.
Dependencies
This job group doesn't have dependencies.
Targeted Hosts
All Microsoft Entra Tenants.
Connection Profile
The Connection Profile is assigned under .Entra ID Inventory > Settings > Connection. It is set to Use the Default Profile, as configured at the global Settings level. However, if this isn't the Connection Profile with the necessary permissions for targeting the Microsoft Entra tenants, select the Select one of the following user defined profiles option and select the appropriate Connection Profile. See the Microsoft Entra ID Connection Profile & Host List topic for information.
History Retention
Not supported.
Multi-Console Support
Not supported.
Schedule Frequency
Schedule the .Entra ID Inventory job group to run once a day. If there are frequent Microsoft Entra ID changes within the target environment, run it more often. It is best to rerun it anytime Entra ID changes might have occurred.
Run at the Solution Level
Run the jobs in the .Entra ID Inventory Job Group together and in order by running the entire solution, instead of running the individual jobs.
Query Configuration
Run the solution with the default query configuration for best results. Although you typically don't need to change the 1-AAD_Scan Job, you can scope the query to skip collecting login activity.
Analysis Configuration
Run the solution with the default analysis configuration for best results. However, you can customize exception analysis parameters in the 2-AAD_Exceptions Job.

The following is the recommended workflow:
Step 1 – Configure and assign the host list and Connection Profile.

Step 3 – Review the reports generated by the .Entra ID Inventory Job Group.
