I have a mix of 2K and 2K3 servers; it's happening more frequently on the 2K3 boxes. My Dell and HP servers each have their respective management utilities installed, which do add MIBs as far as I know.

Prudente Envoyé : lundi 9 juin 2008 15:28 À : gptalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Objet : [gptalk] SNMP via GPO strange behavior Hi All, I have two unrelated domains, and recently implemented a GPO to configure SNMP on my servers. The GPO settings are the same in each domain. In one, everything works fine. In the second, the SNMP settings apply properly, but sometimes the SNMP service will fail to respond to queries. Restarting it fixes the problem temporarily, but often during group policy refresh, it recurs. Manually applying the same SNMP settings to any of the servers works as expected. Any thoughts? Thanks, James
