An administrator wants to continually monitor endpoints for the existence of a specific registry key...

The correct answers are B and C . FortiNAC-F must have a persistent agent on the endpoint if the goal is continual or background endpoint monitoring. The study guide states that the persistent agent is an install-and-stay resident agent and that, after deployment, it communicates back to FortiNAC-F every 15 minutes. It also performs scheduled scans in the background without normal user interaction unless the scan fails. That is the agent model required for continuous compliance monitoring, not a one-time captive portal scan.

A custom scan is also required because the administrator wants to check very specific endpoint conditions: a registry key and a security service. The FortiNAC-F study guide lists Windows custom scan types including Registry Keys and Service , which directly match the two conditions in the question.

Option A is wrong because MDM integration is used to synchronize mobile device data, retrieve MDM-known hosts, receive MDM host updates, and apply policies based on MDM attributes; it is not the required mechanism for checking Windows registry keys or Windows service status. Option D is wrong because a remediation admin scan is not what defines the compliance check itself. The compliance logic must be created as a custom scan, and continuous monitoring requires the persistent agent.
