What happens if Powershell is not configured correctly on the MID Server?

When PowerShell is not configured correctly on the MID Server, the only credentials that are utilized during the discovery process will be the MID Server service credentials. The service credentials are the default credentials used by the MID Server to execute discovery operations, typically relying on credentials that have been specifically set for the MID Server itself.

In scenarios where PowerShell is essential for executing specific discovery tasks, such as gathering information from Windows servers, improper configuration means that the MID Server cannot leverage additional credentials that might otherwise be available for optimal data gathering. As a result, the discovery will still proceed but will be limited to using the service credentials, which may restrict the scope or depth of discovery data available from the target devices. Consequently, while discovery may still occur, it will have constraints based on these limited credentials.

This situation highlights the importance of ensuring that all configurations, particularly those involving integration and communication capabilities like PowerShell, are properly set up to fully capitalize on the MID Server's functionality during the discovery process.
