Hi Everyone.

I noticed on the ASA software download page the new Content Directory Agent (~800MB).  I could not find any release notes nor other references from a Google search.

What is it?

Context Directory Agent is the successor product to AD agent. It provides similar functionality buit comes with Linux distribution and has a GUI based interface. You are right that at the link you gave there is no documentation posted. Will need to dig around

The release notes for the AD Agent product are at: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/ibf/release_notes/ibf10_rn.html

Does anyone know if there is going to be any support for this on Hyper-V?

The agent will install, but will crash on reboot as the installer doesn't write the filesystem partitions correctly.
