hello there,

really depends on which TA but mainly Active Directory and Exchange data.
it helps populate some of the panels / dashboards in the app for windows infrastructure and app for exchange
anything in particular you are looking for?

its for the 2 apps below, which runs powershell scripts to index the data. Just curious that without those, what panels/dashboards would be missing, because of disabling powershell on windows server ?
