Which service needs to be running on a host to detect a Windows device?

AWMI

BSSH

CWinRM

DCIM

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

For ServiceNow Discovery to detect a Windows device, the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) service needs to be running on the host. WMI is a Windows feature that provides a standardized way to access management information about operating system components and services. Discovery uses WMI to query Windows hosts for information about their hardware, software, and system configuration. SSH is used for Unix-like systems, WinRM is an alternative Windows management protocol, and CIM (Common Information Model) is a cross-platform standard; however, WMI is the primary service used for Windows device discovery.

SSH? Really? That's for Linux, not Windows. *laughs* Someone needs to brush up on their protocols.

Hmm, CIM could work too. Isn't that the Common Information Model?

I think it's WinRM. That's the Windows Remote Management service, right?

I think it might be CIM. Common Information Model is also used for this purpose.

Actually, it's WinRM. Windows Remote Management is specifically designed for Windows devices.
