Active Directory integration

Active Directory integrationThe updated StaffCounter Agent for Windows now better supports Windows Active Directory networks.

When connecting one employee’s domain account, even from different workstations, the StaffCounter program will always export the employee’s activity log to a single Dashboard entry on data.staffcounter.net. As if the employee worked on the same device. Thus, now it does not matter on which workstation the employee is working within the corporate network. It is important that he works and benefits the company.

The manager will be able to get accurate analytics of the work of each employee even if he already uses Windows Active Directory in his office, company, enterprise, etc.
