What is sniTrapAgentPurpose?

This read-only DisplayString describes, in the SNI Desktop-Trap-Agent's version-information group, the general purpose or function of the trap agent running on the managed desktop. An administrator would read this value to understand at a glance what role this particular SNI agent instance serves before digging into its version or trap configuration details. For example, the value might read something like 'Desktop hardware and software inventory trap agent' to identify what the agent is monitoring and reporting on.
