Enhancements

Support for comments for compliance rules

Support for status of a user account
(QM001752492) In 8.1.x versions on Windows, the Inventory reports showed the status of a user account. However, the status was not shown in 8.2.x versions. In version 8.3.01, you can view the status of a user account again through the Inventory\Windows\Local Users\Account Disabled query item.
