IntunePolicyParser

A utility to parse Markdown/HTML documentation exports from the IntuneManagement tool into flat CSV files that can be further analyzed in Excel or Power BI.

Source files

This parser expects as input a Documentation export from the IntuneManagement tool. Use the Export Documentation (Markdown) feature, which produces a .md file containing:

• <h3> sections for each policy,
• two <table class="table-settings"> blocks under each heading (Basics + Settings).

Usage

python intune.py [input_file.md] [-o OUTPUT.csv] [--dedupe] [--dedupe-scope {exact,policy,global}] [--newline {lf,crlf}]

Arguments

• input_file.md
  Path to the Intune documentation export (Markdown/HTML).
  Defaults to cqre.md.

• -o, --output OUTPUT.csv
  Output CSV file. If not provided, the name is derived from the input (e.g. input.md -> input.csv).

• --dedupe
  Enable removal of duplicate rows.

• --dedupe-scope {exact,policy,global}
  How duplicates are identified:

  • exact → full row must match (default).
  • policy → unique per (PolicyName + SettingKey + SettingValue).
  • global → unique per (SettingKey + SettingValue + Policy type + Platform).

• --newline {lf,crlf}
  Choose line endings for the output CSV:

  • lf (Unix/macOS/Linux, default)
  • crlf (Windows)

Output format

The generated CSV contains one row per policy setting with these columns:

• PolicyName
• Description
• SettingKey
• SettingValue
• Policy type
• Platform supported
• Created
• Last modified
• Scope tags

Example

# Parse and dedupe by policy, exporting with LF line endings
python intune.py CQRE.NET-2025-09-22.md -o CQRE.NET-2025-09-22.csv --dedupe --dedupe-scope policy --newline lf

This creates CQRE.NET-2025-09-22.csv ready for analysis in Excel.
