New Features and Functionality v9.10
The option to remove user sweeps from protected status calculation on the server has been added.
To enable, the administrator must modify the InventoryObjects.config file which is located in < C:\Program Files\Dell
\Enterprise Edition\Core Server\> by default.
the section to change is :
<object name="DeviceInventoryQueueProcessor" singleton="false"
type="Credant.Inventory.Processor.DeviceInventoryQueueProcessor, Credant.Inventory.Processor" >
<property name="EvaluateLastLoggedInUserForProtection" value="true"/>
</object>
