2 months ago need to track devices that cannot be enrolled in the fleet server (our specific use case is MDM testing devices are assigned to developer MDM server and can't be doubly assigned)
need to be able to have an Inventory record that will never be automatically deleted.
a note field for the IT professional to edit to help keep track for the org as a whole
@georgekarrv sounds like we're trying to replace this "⌨️ Company equipment" Google Sheet w/ Fleet. Is that right?

Problem
The current implementation of fleet makes it easy to misplace or lose offline hosts that have been dormant for a long time or are out for order / shipping to a new team member.
To better accommodate an IT professional in charge of tracking all equipment for the company they might also need to track devices that cannot be enrolled in the fleet server (our specific use case is MDM testing devices are assigned to developer MDM server and can't be doubly assigned). We need to be able to have an Inventory record that will never be automatically deleted.
We will want to pull in some telemetry data to make tracking these devices easier so if they were ever enrolled in fleet we can scrape and assign telemetry data to the inventory record like (last known public IP, hardware specs cpu / ram / platform / model) as well as having a note field for the IT professional to edit to help keep track for the org as a whole (2023-04-08 Last placed in CEO's closet top shelf) to help in the case we need help remembering where it was last seen. It should also be able to be assigned to a user in fleet as the current owner to assist offboarding you can then offboard all inventory currently assigned to that individual.
Potential solutions
