ServiceNow CIS-Discovery Exam - Topic 8 Question 77 Discussion

Actual exam question for ServiceNow's CIS-Discovery exam
Question #: 77
Topic #: 8
[All CIS-Discovery Questions]

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

Show Suggested Answer Hide 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? That's not even close for Windows!

Wait, can you really detect a Windows device without WMI?

CIM sounds familiar, but I can't remember if it's specifically for detecting Windows devices. I might need to think this one through.

I vaguely recall that SSH is more for Linux systems, so it probably isn't that.

I feel like WMI is the right answer, but I could be mixing it up with something else we studied.

I think it might be WinRM, but I'm not entirely sure. I remember it being mentioned in a practice question.

Okay, let me think this through step-by-step. We're looking for the service that can detect a Windows device, not just manage it. I'm pretty sure WMI is the right answer, since it's the core Windows management framework that allows discovery and interaction with Windows systems.

Ah, this is a tricky one. I'm debating between WMI and WinRM. I know WinRM is also used for remote management of Windows systems, so that could be a valid answer too. I'll have to review my notes on Windows remote management services.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know WMI is used for managing Windows systems, but I can't remember if that's the only service that can detect Windows devices. I'll have to think this through carefully.

This one seems pretty straightforward. I'm pretty sure the answer is WMI, since that's the Windows Management Instrumentation service that allows remote management of Windows devices.

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