Q1200015: I'm not able to use SNMP on my Windows 2003 station. The Windows SNMP service is already running.
On Windows 2003, you need to configure the SNMP service before you can actually use it. You can configure the service in the following way:
- Open the 'Services' applet from the "Administrative Tools' group in the 'Start' menu;
- Select 'SNMP Service' and select 'Properties' from the context menu (right mouse-button);
- In the 'Accepted Community Names' list, add a new community, for instance: 'Public' (READ_ONLY);
- Enable 'Accept SNMP Packets from any host', or add all hosts that you want to allow. IMPORTANT: Do NOT use localhost is the list of accepted hosts, it will not work!!;
- Restart the SNMP Service.
