Click on Deploy with Azure button, or download the script from https://github.com/KelvinTegelaar/AzNableProxy

This can now be used to get the installation ID for a client. for example for client 101:
<https://aznableproxy1234.azurewebsites.net/api/Get?code=SOMELONGCODEHERE&ID=101>
you can also use PowerShell to retrieve this ID easily:
$ID = "101"
invoke-restmethod -uri "https://aznableproxy1234.azurewebsites.net/api/Get?code=SOMELONGCODEHERE&ID=$($ID)"
FAQ
Q: Why did you write out the XML and not use webservices? A: SOAP is regarded legacy by Microsoft, and thus PowerShell 7 does not support Webservices anymore. to get them to work, you can write-out the XML and pass it with Invoke-Restmethod.
Q: Why an azure function? A: We're a Microsoft house, and we don't like our actual N-central API key flying around. With this all the data you can get is an installation-ID for software. Not the biggest issue.
