Which TWO of the following are components of the Discovery process?

Which TWO of the following are true about the 'Discovery Status' module?

Which THREE of the following are valid ways to improve discovery performance?

Which THREE of the following are key components for configuring a successful Discovery?

Which TWO of the following can be used to troubleshoot a MID Server that is not responding?

Which THREE of the following items are stored in the Credential record?

Which THREE of the following are necessary to successfully discover a Windows server?

Which THREE of the following are common reasons for a Discovery scan to fail?

Which THREE of the following are true about the Identification phase?

Which TWO of the following are true about Discovery Credentials?

During the Identification phase, you notice that multiple CI records are being created for the same physical server. Which component should you verify to ensure the Identification engine correctly merges these attributes?

You are setting up a new Discovery schedule to scan a large, segmented network. Which feature would you use to ensure the scan is distributed across multiple MID Servers?

Which TWO of the following are valid ways to define the scope of a Discovery scan?

You have a custom application that Discovery is currently ignoring. You want to trigger a specific pattern when the device is classified as a 'Linux Server'. Where do you configure this relationship?

A discovery scan is failing during the Exploration phase because the credentials are insufficient. Where should you look to find the specific error logs related to this credential failure?

When configuring a Discovery Schedule, what happens if the 'Active' checkbox is unchecked?

Which THREE components are involved in the Discovery process flow?

A discovery administrator needs to prevent the MID Server from scanning a set of production database servers on the 10.10.0.0/24 subnet, while still allowing discovery of all other devices on that same subnet. The MID Server is already configured and the discovery schedule uses a single IP range that includes 10.10.0.0/24. Which configuration should the administrator use to exclude only the database servers?

A discovery administrator is troubleshooting why a Windows server is not being classified correctly during discovery. The server responds to pings and the MID Server successfully runs probes, but the Classification record is not being matched. The administrator verifies that the correct Windows pattern is being triggered. Which configuration should the administrator check to ensure the classification is applied based on the correct criteria?

During a discovery run, a Windows server is correctly identified and classified, but the discovery administrator notices that the 'Serial number' attribute is not populated on the resulting CI. The administrator verifies that the Windows credentials are correct and that the server is reachable. Which component should the administrator investigate to ensure the serial number is collected?

An implementation specialist is reviewing the discovery logs and notices that a network device is being classified as a 'Printer' instead of a 'Router'. The device responds to SNMP but the classification is incorrect. Which Discovery configuration element should be adjusted to correct the classification?

A discovery administrator is troubleshooting a server that was discovered but shows no installed software in the CMDB. The horizontal discovery status shows the device completed successfully and the classification matched the correct Linux Server class. Which configuration element should the administrator verify to ensure application and package data is collected for this device?

A discovery administrator needs to ensure that a MID Server can discover devices in a remote subnet that is not directly routable from the ServiceNow instance. The MID Server is already installed and validated in the remote network. What is the next step to enable discovery of that subnet?

A discovery administrator is troubleshooting a Linux server that is not being discovered despite correct credentials and network connectivity. The administrator runs a horizontal discovery and notices that the 'SSH' probe fails with a 'Command not found' error. Which step should the administrator take to resolve this?

A discovery administrator is reviewing the Discovery Logs to troubleshoot why a Windows server was not properly discovered. The administrator notices that the Shazzam phase completed successfully, but the Classification phase did not identify the device. Which two actions should the administrator take to resolve the issue? (Choose two.)

A discovery administrator is configuring a new Discovery Schedule for a subnet that contains both Linux and Windows servers. The administrator wants to minimize the load on the MID Server and ensure that only necessary probes are run. Which configuration should the administrator use?

A discovery administrator has created a new Discovery Schedule for a data center subnet and wants the MID Server to begin scanning immediately without waiting for the next scheduled interval. Which action should the administrator take on the Discovery Schedule record?

A discovery administrator notices that a Windows server is discovered and classified correctly, but its serial number and manufacturer fields remain empty in the CMDB. The MID Server is up, the credentials are validated, and other Windows servers on the same schedule populate these fields. Which configuration should the administrator review first?
