3.2.7 Enabling/Installing Windows SNMP Service
Operations Manager reports the status of its components through the host-resources and
sysappl MIBs. This support enables users to monitor the management station (Operations
Manager) using a third-party SNMP management tool. To enable SNMP queries,
Windows SNMP service must already be installed before you install Operations
Manager. If Operations Manager is installed without Windows SNMP Service, then to
enable SNMP queries, you need to install the Windows SNMP service.
If you have installed Windows SNMP service after installing Operations Manager, then
you will need to manually ensure that the SNMP Trap Service is disabled. If the SNMP
Trap Service is not disabled, then Operations Manager will not be able to receive traps
from the devices it manages.

Note: To improve security, the SNMP set operation is not allowed on any object ID
(OID) in the sysAppl MIB. After installation of Operations Manager, you should modify
the credentials for Windows SNMP service to not use a default or well-known
community string.
To verify that Windows SNMP Service is installed, perform the following steps:
• Open the Windows administrative tool Services window.
