Stephen,

When you import a MIB into InterMapper, it doesn't create a custom probe for
the device that you want to monitor. Importing a MIB will enhance the format
of displayed trap data in the Event log, and it will allow you to use
symbolic names in a custom SNMP probe (as opposed to numeric OIDs) for the
variables you wish to monitor. But in this case, it won't create a probe for
you.

If you tell me more about the publishing point, I may be able to suggest
something that you can use. Do you simply want to know if a Windows
fileshare for the publishing point exists? You can probably do that using a
command-line probe that calls a script to test the share. One of our users
has contributed a Windows Fileshare probe that might get you started.  The
command-line probe uses a Visual Basic script to test a Windows Fileshare.

You can download the probe from this page:

If you cannot test the publishing point by using the fileshare probe, please
send additional information on the publishing point to [EMAIL PROTECTED],
and I will look into it further. 

We do have a RealTime Streaming Protocol probe under the Servers - Standard
> Multimedia folder in the probe list, but I don't know if this can be used
against Windows Media Services servers. You might want to have a look at it.

You can find additional information on command-line probes on this page:

es.htm

A good starting point for learning about creating your own custom probes can
be found on this page:

Subject: [IM-Talk] Windows Media Services probe

Does anyone know of a probe to check the status of a wmv streaming
publishing point for Microsoft Windows Media Services.  I have a
publishing point (kind of like a share mapping) that I need to monitor. 

I have the MIB from Microsoft and I have imported it into Intermapper.
But I don't know where to go from there.  Any guidance would be
appreciated.
