A caveat: we've had horrible experience with the Microsoft perfmib and snmp service. Some problems we've encountered:
-- If an interface on a card changes to a down state, the instance variable simply disappears. -- CPU, memory, disk space: the values never get refreshed after the first snmp query. Microsoft recommends stopping and starting the snmp service every five minutes as a programmed task in order to force a refresh. In short, forget the Microsoft snmp service. You'll be much happier installing an snmp service from either the machine vendor (Compaq and Dell both have snmp services), or some third-party software, such as Net-SNMP for Windows. Or, just reformat the hard drive and install Linux. Scott Prater Dpto. Sistemas [EMAIL PROTECTED] SERVICOM 2000 Av. Primado Reig, 189 entlo. 46020 Valencia - Spain Tel. (+34) 96 332 12 00 Fax.
