Refer to the exhibit, which shows a partial output of the fssod daemon real-time debug command. What two conclusions can you draw Itom the output? (Choose two.)

The correct answer is A. The workstation with IP 10.124.2.90 will be polled frequently using TCP port 445 to see if the user D. FSSO is using agentless polling mode to detect logon events. Options A and D are correct because the debug output reveals FSSO is operating in agentless polling mode - identified by the system actively polling the workstation at IP 10.124.2.90 over TCP port 445 (SMB/WMI).

Explanation

Options A and D are correct because the debug output reveals FSSO is operating in agentless polling mode - identified by the system actively polling the workstation at IP 10.124.2.90 over TCP port 445 (SMB/WMI). This is the defining characteristic of agentless polling: instead of relying on an installed agent to push logon events, the FSSO collector periodically queries endpoints using port 445 to discover who is logged in.

Why B is wrong: B describes DC agent mode behavior, where a collector agent installed on Windows captures logon events as they occur. Agentless mode has no installed agent - that's the entire point of it.

Why C is wrong: DC agent mode also has no TCP 445 polling behavior in the debug output; instead, it receives real-time event notifications pushed from the agent on the domain controller. Seeing active polling is a dead giveaway it's not DC agent mode.

Memory tip: Think "agentless = asks questions." Port 445 (SMB) is FSSO asking the workstation "who's logged in?" - polling is the substitute for having an agent do the reporting. If you see port 445 polling in a debug output, that always points to agentless mode.
