Check Point Certified Security Administrator (CCSA) R81 — Question 156

Using AD Query, the security gateway connections to the Active Directory Domain Controllers using what protocol?

Answer options

• A. Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI)
• B. Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS)
• C. Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)
• D. Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP)

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as AD Query specifically uses Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) for its connections to Active Directory Domain Controllers. The other options, while important in different contexts, do not apply to the AD Query functionality; HTTPS is used for secure web communications, LDAP is for directory access, and RDP is for remote desktop access.
