3. Accurate Search of OUs (Organizational units) with Precise Criteria
Previously, WEM struggled to accurately identify the target OU when multiple OUs with the same name existed in the domain controller. This issue caused significant challenges for IT administrators. This new feature now includes a location configuration option enabling IT administrators to limit the OU search to a specific location, making it easier to quickly find the desired OU.

4. Unique Identification Support in WEM Agent
Previously, WEM agents relied on the MAC address as the device identifier. However, in some cases where the MAC address was not unique, this caused issues with the functionality of certain WEM features.
This enhancement introduces the agent identity concept, allowing it to replace the MAC address as the device identifier for WEM agents. This feature is supported for both domain-joined and non-domain-joined agents.
