.SYNOPSIS
Detects Secure Boot certificate update status for fleet-wide monitoring. - .DESCRIPTION
This detection script collects Secure Boot status, certificate update registry values,
and device information. It outputs a JSON string for monitoring and reporting. - Compatible with Intune Remediations, GPO-based collection, and other management tools.
No remediation script is needed — this is monitoring only. - Exit 0 = "Without issue" (certificates updated)
Exit 1 = "With issue" (certificates not updated — informational only) - .PARAMETER OutputPath
Optional. Path to a folder where the JSON file will be saved.
If provided, saves HOSTNAME_latest.json to this folder.
If not provided, outputs JSON to stdout (original behavior). - .EXAMPLE
# Output to stdout (Intune/SCCM detection)
.\Detect-SecureBootCertUpdateStatus.ps1 - .EXAMPLE
# Save to network share (GPO deployment)
.\Detect-SecureBootCertUpdateStatus.ps1 -OutputPath "\\server\SecureBootLogs$" - .NOTES
