Welcome to the Microsoft Defender Advanced Threat Protection PowerShell module: PSMDATP
This module is a collection of easy-to-use cmdlets and functions designed to make it easy to interface with the Microsoft Defender Advanced Threat Protection API.
Motivation
I created this PowerShell module for MDATP for the following reasons:
Prerequisites
App Permissions
Below is an example of the App Permissions that you must grant. I will provide more details soon about the individual cmdlets and the permissions required
Getting Started
To get started with the module, open your PowerShell terminal and install the module from the PSGallery by running this simple command:
Install-Module PSMDATP -Scope CurrentUser
App Registration
Initial Configuration
When you have installed the module and registered the App in AzureAD, you will find a file TEMPLATE_PoshMTPconfig.json in the Module folder. Rename this file to PoshMTPConfig.json and enter your API settings. Then copy the file in the root of the Module folder.
"C:\Users\User1\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\PSMDATP" ───PSMDATP │ │ PoshMTPconfig.json │ │ │ └───0.0.2 │ PSMDATP.psd1 │ PSMDATP.psm1 │ TEMPLATE_PoshMTPconfig.json
At present the PSMDATP PowerShell module only requires the API_MDATP information
{ "API_MDATP": { "AppName": "WindowsDefenderATPPSMDATP", "OAuthUri": "https://login.windows.net/<YOUR TENANT ID>/oauth2/token", "ClientID": "CLIENT ID", "ClientSecret": "<CLIENT SECRET>" }, "API_MSGRAPH": { "AppName": "xMSGraph", "OAuthUri": "https://login.windows.net/<YOUR TENANT ID>/oauth2/token", "ClientID": "<CLIENT ID>", "ClientSecret": "<CLIENT SECRET>" } }
Important
I am going to assume that you are familiar with MDATP as such and understand the consequences of triggering actions on devices. Where applicable the cmdlets support the use the -whatif parameter. Think before pressing the key!
