Selected Answer: D Which Agent Type is Better? The result is that, in an infrastructure with remote networks separated by WAN links, the integrated agent is more appropriate for reading remote logs and the Windows-based agent is more appropriate for reading local logs. However, use of the integrated agent is not without cost: It consumes more of the firewall’s management plane resources. For this reason, deployment of the Windows agent at remote sites and having them forward the relevant User-ID information to a firewall on a central network often is beneficial. https://beacon.paloaltonetworks.com/uploads/resource_courses

Answer is D. The way you configure the User-ID agent depends on the size of your environment and the location of your domain servers. As a best practice, locate your User-ID agents near the servers it will monitor (that is, the monitored servers and the Windows User-ID agent should not be across a WAN link from each other).
