Nope, just the DHCP ones, it's a known limitation.

I agree with Sam, DHCP isn't discoverable.

Only needs local admin rights? That's interesting!

I thought all Windows servers were discoverable, but I guess there are exceptions. I'm leaning towards the Active Directory Servers not being discovered.

I feel like DHCP servers might be tricky to discover, but I can't recall the specifics. Could it be one of those options?

I think I practiced a question like this before, and it mentioned that certain servers might have restrictions. Maybe it's the Domain Controllers?

I remember something about how ServiceNow Discovery interacts with different Windows servers, but I'm not sure if it can discover all types.

This question seems to be testing our understanding of the key components or requirements for Industry 4.0. I'll need to carefully consider the different options and how they relate to the concept of the "sweet spot" for this industrial revolution.

I'm a little confused by this question. I know there are different phases, but I'm not sure if they match up exactly with the options given. I'll have to review my notes to be more confident in my answer.

My money's on A) Windows Active Directory Servers. I mean, c'mon, that's the entire foundation of the network! No way a lowly Domain user is getting in there. Unless, of course, the ServiceNow guys have a special 'Discover all the things!' button that bypasses all security. Wouldn't put it past them.

I'm going with B) Windows DHCP Servers. Those are just glorified IP address dispenser, right? Can't imagine they'd be that locked down. Although, knowing ServiceNow, they probably find a way to mess that up too.

Hmm, I'm not so sure. Maybe D) Windows DNS Servers? Those are kind of the backbone of the network, so they might have extra protection too. Though I guess a Domain admin should be able to see them...

Maybe there are additional security measures in place for DNS servers.

But wouldn't a Domain admin have access to them anyway?

I think the answer is C) Windows Domain Controller Servers. Those servers typically have additional security measures in place that would prevent a basic Domain user from accessing them.

A Domain user with local admin rights should be able to discover all the listed servers, so I'm not sure why the question is asking which ones won't be discovered. Seems like a trick question to me.

Yeah, it's probably just to test our knowledge on the different types of servers. But as long as the user has the right permissions, they should all be discoverable.
