Can Active Directory data be collected remotely from a Windows Server using wmi.conf?

True
False, only Event logs and performance logs can be collected
True, with the right permissions
False, Active Directory requires a special protocol

The correct answer is: False, only Event logs and performance logs can be collected

Active Directory data can indeed be collected remotely from a Windows Server using the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) configuration file (wmi.conf), provided that the appropriate permissions are in place. This means that the correct answer highlights that Active Directory information is not limited to just Event logs and performance logs but can also be gathered through WMI. For proper collection, it is essential to ensure that the user account used for the collection has the necessary rights to access Active Directory data on the remote server. This process involves configuring security settings to allow remote queries, which WMI can handle effectively, given that it's designed for such operations. While the assertion that only Event logs and performance logs can be collected is partially true for other collection methods, it doesn't apply to WMI, as it is capable of gathering a broad array of data types, including those associated with Active Directory, provided the conditions for remote querying are met.
