Does the Intune Endpoint Readiness Collector change tenant settings?
Phil Kinsley:
The collector is designed to retrieve evidence through Microsoft Graph using read-only permissions. It writes local JSON, not tenant configuration, and does not deploy policies, remediate devices or calculate readiness scores. Review the current README and requested permissions before running it. Graph beta dependencies, permissions, scope tags and failed queries can reduce the evidence collected.
