Enhancement to Server Inventory Report - Add File Agent version

I think it would be useful if the version of File Agent that is being used for a Connect Direct server (Windows or UNIX) be displayed on this report as well.  Especially for Connect Direct Windows because File Agent is still a separate component.

How will this idea be used?

Adding the File Agent version to the Server Inventory Report will provide a more complete report.  This will be useful to us in order to provide a more complete picture of our inventory.  Especially as the inventory grows.  It will be more convenient to have this information in a report instead of going to the Control Center console to check the versions of File Agent.
