Explanation

A best practice for installing the Windows User-ID agent is to deploy it in close proximity to the servers it will be monitoring. The User-ID agent monitors Active Directory events, such as logins and logoffs, and maps them to IP addresses for User-ID mapping. Installing the agent on a system close to the servers (e.g., domain controllers) ensures it can efficiently and quickly process authentication events without delays that may occur over long distances or in high- latency environments.
