Limitations of using a Linux MID Server to discover a Windows hostIssue To discover a Windows server, the MID Server host must have Microsoft PowerShell 3.0 up to 5.1 installed, which can only be installed on a Windows host. A MID Server installed on a Linux host cannot run PowerShell-based probes and patterns. PowerShell v6 or later on Linux is not an option because many PowerShell commands used by existing Windows probes and patterns are not available in PowerShell v6. A Linux MID Server can be used if Agent Client Collector for Visibility (ACC-V) is being used for discovery of the Windows host that the ACC is installed on. In this case, the MID Server is simply passing on the results to the instance. The MID Server is only being used for the ACC endpoint and Web Server MID Server extensions, and those are supported on both Windows and Linux MID Servers.Related LinksFor more information, see: Product documentation for Windows discovery Agent Client Collector for Visibility (ACC-V)
