Where is the universal forwarder deployed on Windows systems?

/opt/splunkforwarder
C:\Program Files\SPLUNKUniversalForwarder
/usr/local/splunkforwarder
D:\Splunk\UniversalForwarder

The correct answer is: C:\Program Files\SPLUNKUniversalForwarder

The universal forwarder is specifically designed for deployment on Windows systems, and its standard installation directory is located at C:\Program Files\SPLUNKUniversalForwarder. This directory is where the Splunk Universal Forwarder software resides, allowing it to collect and forward data efficiently to a Splunk indexer or another system for processing. This installation path aligns with Windows file system conventions, where applications are typically installed in the "Program Files" directory. The universal forwarder facilitates seamless data collection from Windows hosts, ensuring that log and performance data can be sent to Splunk for analysis without disrupting system operations. In contrast, the other choices refer to installation paths that are not standard for Windows systems. /opt/splunkforwarder and /usr/local/splunkforwarder are paths commonly used on UNIX or Linux-based systems, while D:\Splunk\UniversalForwarder is not the default installation path and may not be recognized as an official installation location unless explicitly chosen during setup. This reinforces the uniqueness of the correct answer in the context of Windows deployment.
