CIS-Discovery Exam Dumps : Certified Implementation Specialist - Discovery

 The WMI service is a Windows service that enables remote management of Windows devices using the WMI protocol. The WMI service is required for Discovery to access the configuration and status information of Windows devices using WMI queries. If the WMI service is not running on a host, it will prevent the discovery of Windows devices, as Discovery will not be able to communicate with the WMI Collector or execute WMI queries on the target device123.

During the Discovery process, the Model Category of the Configuration Item (CI) determines if an Asset record is created. A Model Category is a grouping of models that share the same asset tracking strategy and the same CI and Asset tables. The asset tracking strategy defines whether Discovery creates an Asset record for each CI of that Model Category. There are three possible asset tracking strategies: Create Assets, Don’t create Assets, and Create Consumable Assets12.
