Changing snow agent logging to verbose results in error "Cannot parse manifest"
After changing the agent snowagent.config logging to verbose you see the following error:

      Handshake; Handshake failed. Unexpected server response. 400 Cannot parse manifest. Unexpected manifest section 'Identity'.

This is usually because the Snow Inventory Server is running an older version than the agent. Please ensure that the Snow Inventory Server is on the 6.6 or higher, or use an agent compatible with the Snow Inventory Server. For example if you have Snow Inventory Server 5 deployed, request an agent for this version specifically, which will allow communications to resume normally.
