Check Snmp Version Windows Server 2012
Snmp Check For Windows
Check Windows Server Snmp Version
Check Snmp Version Windows Server 2019

Because of security issues with any version prior to SNMP v3, our servers get flagged and it's something that we need to fix. So, having said all that, does Windows Server 2016 support SNMPv3. Oh, and I also installed Windows Server 2016 in my test environment and SNMP is still available. Install SNMP Agent and configure the community string. Orion Platform products use the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to collect detailed information about your server. While configuring SNMP, certain values are already pre-configured for you. This is by-design, to ensure that your server is monitored properly.

Configuring Windows Systems for Monitoring with SNMP

Use the following menu options to navigate the SL1 user interface:

To view a pop-out list of menu options, click the menu icon ().
To view a page containing all the menu options, click the Advanced menu icon ().

The following sections describe how to configure Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2012, and Windows Server 2008 for monitoring by SL1 using SNMP:

Front dial box launcher microsoft word 2017. To configure SNMP on a Windows 2016 Server or a Windows 2012 Server, you must:

Configure 'ping' responses.
Install the SNMP service.
Configure the SNMP service.
Configure the firewall to allow SNMP requests.
Configure Device Classes. (Windows Server 2016 only)

Configuring Ping Responses

For SL1 to discover a device, including SNMP-enabled devices, the device must meet one of the following requirements:

The device must respond to an ICMP 'Ping' request.
One of the ports selected in the Detection Method & Port field for the discovery session must be open on the device. If the Default Method option for the Detection Method & Port field is selected, SL1 scans TCP ports 21, 22, 23, 25, and 80.

The default configuration for a Windows Server does not allow ICMP 'Ping' requests and does not allow connections to TCP ports 21, 22, 23, 25, or 80. Therefore, to discover a Windows Server in SL1, you must perform one of the following tasks:

Reconfigure the firewall on the Windows Server to allow ICMP 'Ping' requests. This section describes how to perform this task.
Reconfigure the firewall on the Windows Server to allow connections to port 21, 22, 23, 25, or 80. If you have already configured your Windows Server to accept SSH, FTP, Telnet, SMTP, or HTTP connections, this task might have been completed already. You should perform this task only if you were already planning to allow SSH, FTP, Telnet, SMTP, or HTTP connections to your Windows Server.
When you create the discovery session that will discover the Windows Server, select at least one port in the Detection Method & Port field that is open on the Windows Server. For example, if your Windows Server is configured as an MSSQL Server, you could select port 1433 (the default port for MSSQL Server) in the Detection Method & Port field.

To reconfigure the firewall on a Windows Server to allow ICMP 'Ping' requests, perform the following steps:

In the Start menu search bar, enter 'firewall' to open a Windows Firewall with Advanced Security window.

In the left pane, select Inbound Rules.
If you want SL1 to discover your Windows Server using an IPv4 address, locate the File and Printer Sharing (Echo Request - ICMPv4-In) rule.
If you want SL1 to discover your Windows Server using an IPv6 address, locate the File and Printer Sharing (Echo Request - ICMPv6-In) rule.

Right click on the rule that you located, then select Enable Rule:

Installing the SNMP Service

To install the SNMP service on a Windows 2012 Server or Windows 2016 Server, perform the following steps:
