How to configure SNMP SC in Windows 2008 Core

First be sure SNMP is installed on the Core Server, check with OCLIST.EXE and search for SNMP-SC.

If it isn’t installed, install it: start /w ocsetup SNMP-SC

Remote administration


After you have enabled the remote administration, you can start the computer management add-in on your management workstation. If this is a Windows Vista machine, you probably will not be able to configure the tab (Security).

Use a Windows 2003 machine, start the computer management add-in and connect to the Windows 2008 Core Server. After that you will be able to configure the server.

For those who like to search a bit deeper, you can also configure the settings through the registry :

HKLM\System\CurrentControleSet\Services\SNMP\Parameters\
