:::note
This activity works only as part of an **Active Directory Scope** activity where the following parameters **ActiveDirectoryServer**, **Username**, **Password** have explicit values. The activity is setting up a Remote WMI Connection from the Robot machine to the target Computer, therefore all the system requirements and configuration requirements for such a connection apply here.
