Re: Add SNMP community remotely?
This might help, from a quick Google search. I think the idea of using a .reg file to import the community strings jogs my memory, so if SNMP is already installed it may be one less step for you http://www.pcreview.co.uk/forums/thread-1602002.php On 16 April 2010 14:06, James Rankin kz2...@googlemail.com wrote: You need to configure SNMP remotely using *sysocmgr*, which will allow you to configure community strings somewhere in the answer file IIRC On 16 April 2010 13:48, Michael Leone oozerd...@gmail.com wrote: I'm investigating server monitoring solutions, and many work via SNMP. Right now, all of my servers have a PUBLIC community set as READ ONLY. I'd like to define my own READ-WRITE community, but don't want to have to go to 100+ servers to add it in. Anyone know of a way to add a community to a server remotely, perhaps something I can script or use a WMI command to set?

Yes, all the machines already have SNMP installed, and all have at least the PUBLIC community defined as READ ONLY. So I'd be interested in just adding my own community. That's a great help, thanks! ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~
RE: Add SNMP community remotely?
Pretty simple to set the SNMP registry keys with a group policy... Community strings go here: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\SNMP\Parameters\ValidCo mmunities SNMP management servers go here: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\SNMP\Parameters\Permitt edManagers -Malcolm -Original Message- From: Michael Leone [mailto:oozerd...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, April 16, 2010 08:17 To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Add SNMP community remotely?
