The basic data of a client is collected from the AD, compared with the data available in acmp, and finally stored if it does not already exist. Once set up, Clients that are newly connected to the AD are automatically inventoried. This eliminates the need to trigger an inventory manually.

This allows the client to be found in the agent installation and its basic data to be processed normally (e.g. in queries or client commands).
