# Determining why a Device Receives a Noncompliance Message


The following noncompliance codes are provided by WMI and describe the reasons why a particular device is reported by MBAM as noncompliant.

You can use your preferred method to view WMI. If you use PowerShell, run `gwmi -class mbam_volume -Namespace root\microsoft\mbam` from a PowerShell prompt and search for ReasonsForNoncompliance.
