Pass the ServiceNow Certified Implementation Specialist CIS-Discovery Questions and answers with CertsForce

 To allow a MID Server to access servers using WinRM, the following configurations are required:

MID Servers need to be added to the WinRM Group policy on the Servers: This enables the servers to accept WinRM connections from the MID Servers and grant them the necessary permissions to execute commands and scripts1.

MID Server Parameters Add WinRM: This enables the MID Server to use WinRM as a protocol for Discovery and Orchestration and specify the WinRM port, authentication method, and encryption settings2.

 Reconciliation rules are used to determine which data sources can update CI attributes in ServiceNow. Reconciliation rules can be static or dynamic, and they can be applied to specific CI classes, attributes, or discovery sources. Reconciliation rules can also specify the actions to take when there are unmatched values, such as removing, ignoring, or updating them1.

To launch any pattern, you need to specify the CI classification and the CI type. The CI classification determines the table where the discovered CI is stored in the CMDB, and the CI type defines the specific attributes and relationships of the CI. For example, if you want to discover a Windows server, you need to select the CI classification as cmdb_ci_win_server and the CI type as Windows Server. These choices are mandatory for any pattern, as they enable Discovery to identify and classify the CIs correctly.
