fix

The VigilEnt Security Manager (VSM) GUI, as well as the machine running VigilEnt Security Server (VSS), does not necessarily need to be a domain member in order to report on that domain.  VSM uses the VigilEnt Security Agent for Windows (VSANT) in order to gather the data for reports.

NOTE:  Issues could arise when attempting to browse machines and perform IP lookups within the VSM GUI if that machine is not a member.  The machine running VSM may need to be configured to reference a DNS server in order to resolve host names.
