New Features and Enhancements
New Windows Registry Indication for Automatic Unregister Events
Automatic Unregister is a capability in the Web Console that automatically unregisters an endpoint after a defined period of agent inactivity (for example, when no heartbeat is received).
When an Automatic Unregister event occurs, the agent creates a new Windows Registry key named AgentAutoUnregisterDateUtc with the UTC timestamp of the unregister event. Example value: 2025-11-25T07:53:29.0000000Z
By default, this registry key is not present and appears as “(value not set)”. If the agent is reinstalled after being automatically unregistered, the registry key is cleared and returns to the unset state.
