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. Once 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, then it can be executed 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 the individual jobs.
Query Configuration
Run the solution with the default query configuration for best results. It's best to leave the 1-AAD_Scan Job unchanged, but a possible modification is to scope the query to skip collecting sign-in activity.
Analysis Configuration
Run the solution with the default analysis configuration for best results. However, a possible modification might be to customize exception analysis parameters within the 2-AAD_Exceptions Job.
Workflow
The following is the recommended workflow:
Step 1 – Configure and assign the host list and Connection Profile.
Step 2 – Schedule the .Entra ID Inventory job group to run as desired.
Step 3 – Review the reports generated by the .Entra ID Inventory Job Group.
