Had an odd little ditty today…
I needed to set up SNMP on a Windows Server 2008 box so that I could add it to our What’s Up Gold monitoring system. As you probably know, Server 2008 relies heavily on the concepts of Roles and Features. Well, SNMP is a Feature. So, in Server Manager I added the SNMP Feature.
Then, like in previous versions of Windows, I went to the Services UI, scrolled down to ‘SNMP Service’, right-clicked, and selected Properties.
I expected to see a nice series of tabs that would allow me to configure the SNMP Service with things like ‘community names’ and ‘trap destinations’. Instead, I only got the standard tabs you see on most Services. The service was installed and running, but there was no way to configure it.
Turns out, the ‘fix’ to this is simple… Log out and log back in. After logging back in, all teh SNMP configuration tabs were there.
You shouldn’t have to do that, but it is only a small inconvenience.
