Hmm, the MID Server sounds like a pretty important character in this process. I hope it's not the same MID Server from my IT support days - that guy was always MIA!

Wait, is the MID Server a real person? I thought it was just a server. This exam is getting a bit too personalized for my liking.

No, the MID Server is not a real person. It's a server that helps with executing commands on target devices.

Oh, I see. So the MID Server acts as a bridge between Service Mapping and the target device. That makes sense now.

I disagree, I believe the answer is B because the MID Server decides what command to execute.

Option D sounds like a direct communication between the target device and ServiceNow, which doesn't seem right. The MID Server must be involved.

I'm not sure about the difference between B and C. Does the target device directly communicate with ServiceNow in C?

Option A seems to be the correct process. The MID Server collects the command and executes it on the target device, then returns the result to ServiceNow.
