New Features

A new configuration item, ActiveQuery, has been added to the IdAgent.ini file. This setting allows the client workstation to be queried directly when the log parsing approach does not work. If the ActiveQuery configuration entry is set to 1, the Domain Controller Agent performs a remote registry query to the client workstation directly for the logged-in user. The default value of ActiveQuery is zero, and behaves the same way as in previous versions.
