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.
