Configuring SNMP on Windows Server 2008 Core

Question

Hi,
I'd like to apologize for my english (i'm a french student).
I'm starting to use Windows server 2008 Core and i have one problem with snmp service.
I installed it but when i want to configure it in a mmc (remotely on a vista), i haven't any tab (Agent, Trap, Security).
Many thanks.
Damien.

Hi,
Please use the following procedure which i have written.
How to fix SNMP in windows 2008 r2 core (Hyper-V)
See the list of features.
Dism /online /get-features /format:table
Now you can install for the SNMP Service:
Dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:SNMP-SC
Usually in GUI (Windows 2008) you can add public string and values through ‘services’ (security tab) in Server Manager but in core version sometimes it doesn’t give you ‘security’ tab option.
The work around is to add that string manually in regedit.
Run ‘regedit’ from the command prompt and go the following folder.
# HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\SNMP\Parameters
In my case I have installed Dell Openmanage essentials on a Windows 2008 R2 (GUI) system so I created a string in the folder ‘PermittedManagers’ under Parameters folder.
Value name =1
Value data = Server IP (Monitoring – Dell openmanage)
To assign public string we need to create a DWORD (32 bit) Value in the folder ‘ValidCommunities’
Value name = public
Value data = 4
That’s it.
To check that I am using Dell Troubleshooting tool
