Why Do This?

The Device Manager is typically used for devices that your company manages/owns or for devices that are accessing company data. If an employee doesn't have a company-issued laptop, or are not accessing sensitive company data, there is often times concerns about having an MDM installed. Should that be the case, there are work arounds for evidence that can be collected for devices that don't have MDM.
